Key Characteristics
Appearance: Features small, trumpet-shaped flowers in a vibrant canary yellow that bloom continuously from spring until the first frost.
Growth Habit: Reaches a height and spread of 10–12 inches, making it an ideal "spiller" that cascades gracefully over the edges of baskets.
Wildlife: The bright colors and nectar-rich blooms are known to attract hummingbirds and other pollinators.
Light: Place in full sun (at least 6 hours daily) for the most abundant flowering.
Watering: Hanging baskets dry out quickly. Water daily during hot weather to keep the soil consistently moist, but ensure the basket has excellent drainage to prevent root rot.
Feeding: Calibrachoa are "heavy feeders." Use a balanced liquid fertilizer every 1–2 weeks to maintain vigorous blooming.
Maintenance: These plants are self-cleaning, meaning they do not require deadheading. If the plant becomes leggy mid-season, you can lightly trim it back to encourage fresh growth.
