Petchoa SuperCal® Velvet PP#18,824
A "Petchoa" is a Petunia crossed with a Calibrachoa, bringing you the best of both worlds.
No matter what else you grow this year, make room for the new Petchoa family! SuperCal® is nothing short of the BEST ANNUAL we've ever seen for hanging baskets, windowboxes, and tall flowerpots. Unlike Petunia Wave®, it doesn't bloom in waves, but is continuous, so the plant is never "between cycles." The flowers are as abundant as Calibrachoas with the larger size of Petunias. They stand up to wind, cloudy skies, and even rain without closing up or looking stressed. The colors are incredible. And they are simply SO EASY!
Velvet is a stunning color in the series, with large blooms of deepest red to burgundy. Like all the SuperCals®, this plant reaches about a foot high and spreads 2 feet wide, technically making it "semi-trailing." In reality, these blooms seem to be everywhere, all at once, for three seasons. You've never seen anything like it!
Grow these as you would Petunias -- in fertile soil, with lots of water and food, in full sunshine. They are fine for bedding too, but it's their container presence that really shines. And of course you can't grow just one SuperCal®! It's a natural fit with Neon Rose, too, the deep burgundy complementing the zingy magenta/fuchsia. And don't forget dark Purple and multicolored, soft Terracotta!
But don't take our word for it, or wait for the neighbors to discover it. Raise the tone of your garden and increase its flower power by tenfold with exciting new SuperCal®! Set of 6 plants.
