Adored by gardeners for its continuous growth habit and long blooming periods gardeners know that they can rely on red Calibrachoa to hold beautiful colour all year round. A flower full of reward requiring such a little amount of maintenance that this Calibrachoa requires from you. Deadheading is not required therefore you can just leave this flower to its own habits. If you’re garden or outdoor space holds a lot of heat, this isn’t a concern as Calibrachoa is fantastic for heat resistance.

At Unwins we love Calibrachoa Calita red as it is bursting with so much personality and power for a  small flower. Falling into the shorter category of flowers at a height of around 6-12 inches, the red flower heads are packed full of character. Warm rich red petals surround a yellow button like centre piece that is a joy to look at. Calibrachoas have a variety of planting options such planting in containers, in the ground or from hanging baskets as they have a beautiful trailing habit.

To keep things simple we usually find its best to start your Calibrachoa’s growing in a container as it’s easier to control the soil moisture. If the roots are too wet to begin with then disease can become present.

You may want your Calibrachoa’s to be a ground plant if that is the case then it is essential that they are planted in well-drained soil to prevent root disease. Once in the ground, they should require little water unless it is an extremely dry period.

An Unwins top tip is if your plants are looking a little tired throughout the season trim heads back with some pruning snips. This will cause them to want to branch out more creating fuller appearance.
