    Once botanically lumped in with petunias, calibrachoas have become some of the most warm season bedding plants on the market. Members of the free-flowering Celebration+ series are compact and produce bountiful small funnel-shaped flowers all summer. These appear above dense, cascading, plants with small resinous pale green leaves that are fragrant. Some cultivars even have variegated foliage. The flowers come in many shades to include yellow, white, pink, purple, red and orange.Many are bicolored.

    Heat-loving and everblooming, calibrachoas grow best in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. They do not require deadheading but light pruning and regular fertilizer will prolonged vigorous bloom. These fantastic bedding plants are perfect for containers, hanging baskets, and border edges.
