We, gardeners, love Petunias we are happy with the much newer Calibrachoa, which looks like loads of small petunias on a colorful mounding and trailing plant. SuperCal Petchoas are not only tough and flamboyant, theyre versatile too. Slow-release fertilizers deliver a little bit of nutrients to the soil each time you water and you only need to apply them once a season. Characteristics: Heat Tolerant, Low Maintenance. The soil should never stay wet or soggy, otherwise the roots could rot.įertilize petchoas regularly during the growing season or make it easy on yourself and use a slow-release fertilizer at planting time. Water them regularly to keep them from wilting - but take care not to overwater. In containers, choose a potting mix designed for use in pots. The first Petchoa was developed by plant breeder Danziger and was immediately trademarked Calitunia®. It is an amazing plant for home gardeners who enjoy hanging baskets loaded with blooms all season. Like most flowering annuals (including petunias and calibrachoas, to which they're related), petchoas prefer moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter if you grow them in gardens. SuperCal® works beautifully in patio containers, window boxes, hanging baskets, combined planters and even in the landscape. The Petchoa is a milestone in plant breeding and the result is a combination of the best characteristics of both the petunia and the calibrachoa. They can tolerate some partial shade, but they won't bloom as well and are more likely to get lanky, unattractive stems without enough sun.
