Proven Winners® Superbells® Red Calibrachoa hybrid 'INCALIMRED' USPPAF, Can PBRAF

Planting Instructions:

  • - Plant in spring after the last frost date
  • - Space plants 8-12 inches apart in containers, hanging baskets, or landscape beds
  • - Superbells Calibrachoa are versatile and can be used as trailing plants or groundcover

Soil Preparation:

  • - Ideal soil pH: 5.5-6.2 (slightly acidic)
  • - Use well-draining, peat-based potting mix for containers

Watering Specifics:

  • - Water when the top inch of soil feels dry
  • - Superbells are more drought-tolerant than many Calibrachoa varieties

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 10-14 days during the growing season
  • - Choose a fertilizer with micronutrients, especially iron
  • - For landscape plants, use a slow-release fertilizer in spring and mid-summer

Pruning and Training:

  • - Minimal pruning required; Superbells are self-cleaning and don't need deadheading
  • - If plants become leggy, trim back by about one-third to encourage bushiness
  • - For hanging baskets, occasional trimming can help maintain a balanced shape

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Watch for common pests like aphids, whiteflies, and spider mites
  • - Monitor for diseases such as root rot and botrytis, especially in humid conditions
  • - Superbells have good resistance to many common plant diseases

Blooming Indicators:

  • - Produces an abundance of bell-shaped flowers, larger than typical Calibrachoa
  • - Blooms continuously from spring through fall without deadheading

Light Requirements:

  • - Prefers full sun for best flowering and compact growth
  • - Can tolerate partial shade, but may become leggy and produce fewer flowers

Temperature Tolerance:

  • - More heat-tolerant than many Calibrachoa varieties
  • - Can tolerate light frost, but protect when temperatures drop below 35°F

The Magical Calibrachoa Plant

If you want a rewarding challenge, try pampering one of the Superbell trailing types into an award-winning masterpiece. Grow Joy only sends the best plants and in great condition. I grew a yellow one that started out as a tiny sprout in a tiny plastic container. I replanted it into a 6 ceramic pot that was about 10 to 10 deep. On sunny days it's very important to water it well early in the morning and every morning. In the evenings give it a light watering, just enough to dampen the top of the soil. Once a week, give it a hefty dose of Miracle Grow in liquid form. If you do this religiously and never allow the soil to dry out or get too wet you will be on your way to a very satisfying experience and will have yourself a masterpiece that will have hundreds of blooms on it. Red or yellow are the best colors for growth and beauty. Just be sure to plant it in full sun, tend to daily watering, fertilize ot weekly, don't over-water it (especially during heavy rains), and post us a photo mid-summer.

Cheerful and happy-making

Love these! In zone 8b, my potted Petchoas from last year survived 3 snowstorms and re-emerged much to my surprise! This one is a fast-growing, bushy, cheerful plant in a beautiful cherry red color. They bloom even after first frost, so a good investment even late in the season.

Love these!

These produce an abundance of red flowers that stay all summer. They make a great filler plant that spills over the pot.

Awesome

These plants arrived in excellent packaging!! Not even one piece of dirt was misplaced. The size of the plants were perfect, and they were very healthy. Absolutely will order again.

very healthy

As always the plants arrived healthy and happy! Super duper packaging. No issues when transplanting, already growing!

From Kym | April 26, 2021


Should Survive

Most of the plant was received intact with only some of the stems and leaves gone. It looks like it may survive and I am looking forward to that and its eventual blooming
