What does this mean?

This shows how the plant is typically used in a container combo — Thriller (tall focal point), Filler (mid-height mass), or Spiller (trailing over the edge).

Tip: match plant habit to the role for the best designs.

Truly Pink turns patios into pastel waterfalls from the first warm weeks of spring until hard frost. The combination stands 6–12 inches tall yet spills up to two feet, cloaking baskets, window boxes, and 12‑inch planters in uninterrupted pink and white. Calibrachoa ‘Doublette Love Swept’ delivers ruffled double trumpets edged in white, while Petunia ‘Trailing Rose Veined’ adds a lacework of deep‑rose lines over blush petals. Finishing the picture, Superbells® White slips between the pinks, lighting every stem with clean color.

Pollinators fly in for quick refuels, and—thanks to heat tolerance plus disease resistance—the show keeps rolling through high summer. All three components shrug off brief dry spells and recover quickly after rain. Growth habits layer naturally: petunia plays the flowing filler, calibrachoa acts as the cascading spiller, and together they create a full, mounded canopy that hides the pot rim within weeks. Plant this mix anywhere bright—sun‑drenched porch rail, retaining‑wall pocket, border edge—or mass several recipes in a low trough for an instant pink ribbon. 

Truly Pink Combination Care

Fill the container with a premium, well‑drained potting mix amended with a slow‑release fertilizer; that charge feeds for ten to twelve weeks. Place the planter where it receives six or more hours of direct light and water thoroughly whenever the top inch of soil feels dry, letting excess drain away. Begin supplemental feeding every three to four weeks after midsummer—or sooner if no slow‑release food was used—to keep blossoms prolific without risking salt build‑up. Pinch or shear stems back by one‑third in late July to prompt fresh branching and a new flush of color.

Treat the collection as an annual in zones 3–9; in frost‑free climates (zones 10–11) the pot can remain outdoors year‑round and bloom on into the next season. Gardeners in cooler regions may overwinter cuttings indoors under bright light, restarting the display long before local nurseries stock summer color.

Truly Pink Combination Spacing

One recipe fills a 12‑inch basket or patio pot shoulder‑to‑shoulder; choose a 14‑ to 16‑inch container for the fullest drape and easier watering. In garden beds, set individual kits 14–18 inches apart so trails mingle by midsummer without crowding roots. For window boxes, allow roughly 8 inches between plants down the trough.
