This will be the third year ordering these prolific Superbells from PW. The pale yellow blooms blend well in all sorts of color combos and the plants are vigorous. Instead of just pinks, I'm mixing with purples this year. Can't wait for Spring.

If there was a word that meant extra, extra super it still wouldn't be as super as we are. Calibrachoas are a new type of plants that sort of look like little Petunias, which makes sense seeing as we're related. Only Superbells aren't sticky, perk right back up after it rains, and stay compact and bushy even when we are stressed.
Woo-hoo! There is nothing more super than Superbells. If there was a word that meant extra, extra super it still wouldn't be as super as we are. Calibrachoas are a new type of plants that sort of look like little Petunias, which makes sense seeing as we're related. Only Superbells aren't sticky, perk right back up after it rains, and stay compact and bushy even when we're stressed. Superbells are Proven Winners' newest Calibrachoas. We're the ones covered with hundreds of flowers from early spring all the way through those first light frosts. Just 6 - 10 inches tall, our long, long, trailing branches cascade over the sides of hanging baskets and other containers, and spread over flower beds. Hummingbirds are cuckoo about us.
Vigor, heat tolerance and resistance to disease are traits we all share. So is being an annual except in zones 9 - 11. You don't have to deadhead old flowers or pinch back stems. Water only when the top of the soil feels dry. Too much water makes our roots rot (Ick). Full sun. Fertilize once a month. How extra double super easy is that?
Of course I'm a natural blond. Sure, I admit Proven Winners' plant breeders have enhanced my color, but it was a natural process. You know, selective breeding, Mendel's laws - all that genetic stuff. It's a good thing they did, too. We all know what happens to a bad color job in full sun. Fading, uneven tones, and the type of streaking nobody wants. Me, I just love my color. It's a light, buttery yellow (unsalted) and my flowers are veined with pale, bright green and have darker green centers. The only dark roots you'll ever see on me are underground.

SUPER is an understatement. Grew only 1 plant for my mom and she loved them. They are currently spilling down the pot. Zone 9b May 2021.

Have gotten one of these each of last 3 years and every season I like it more than before. Extremely reliable, durable and vigorous callie. All I do is water and feed it regularly. Not fussy about over or under watering, at least the first 2 seasons. Given the more subtle color of the flowers I would recommend grouping it with opposite colors like blues and reds. I use it with Royal Velvet, Indigo Charm and deep pinks. This variety spreads well and mounds nicely but won't take over a pot. Grows well and flowers prolifically. Definitely recommend.

Love the pretty little flowers. So pretty in a pot and stays happy whether it's hot and humid or rainy and overcast. A gem of a plant!

This is one of my favorite "go to" plants for planter arrangements. It has never failed me yet. At the end of the season it's still going strong and occasionally doing double duty for plants that have faded late in the season.

It bloomed all summer and recovered well after it became dry.
