Features
Bright coral blooms with a sunny yellow eye cover this mounding trailing calibrachoa plant. Superbells are best grown in containers where soil moisture can be more easily controlled, since they don't tolerate constantly wet soils well.

They will do well in the ground only with good drainage. For most gardeners, calibrachoa in containers are the best use for heat tolerant flower plants like Calibrachoa.
Maintenance Notes:Superbells® calibrachoa plants are easy to grow and will flower non-stop from planting to hard frost if simple maintenance tasks are performed. Growing Superbells in full sun to part sun is important for their strong growth and bloom performance. They do not require deadheading, meaning the removal of spent flowers, to stay in bloom all season.
Calibrachoa’s roots are sensitive to wet soil and extreme soil pH levels. For these reasons, they grow best in containers with a well-drained potting mix such as Proven Winners Premium Potting Soil. If your garden soil is well-drained and slightly acidic, you may be able to grow calibrachoa in the ground.
Superbells calibrachoa thrive with average moisture and prefer the soil to dry out a little bit before they are watered again. They do not grow well and may develop root rot in soggy soil. However, do not let the plants wilt severely before watering again.
Superbells perform best when fed regularly with Proven Winners plant foods. At planting time, in containers and landscapes, mix Proven Winners Premium Continuous Release Plant Food into the soil, following the rates specified on the packaging. Reapply halfway through the growing season.
Additionally, Superbells should be fed with Proven Winners Premium Water Soluble Plant Food every third time you water or at least once per week according to the rates specified on the packaging.
By midsummer, it will be time to trim up your Superbells. Trim the longest stems, bringing them in line with the others, taking care not to remove more than 20% of the plant. Follow up by feeding them with water soluble plant food to promote fresh new growth and blooms.

I planted six of these in the ground. They hug the ground and trail. The flowers are very small. I have them in full sun with no fertilizer. They are nice but I wish the flowers were larger.

Planted this in Mid-May here in Chicagoland area, Zone 5b (although on this site says my area is a 6a as it's considered a microclimate). Was a bit slow at first to take off, but once that heat came in June, they filled in nicely. The color is gorgeous and bright. I have it planted with Lemon Coral sedum, Fireworks purple fountain grass and "sidekick black" sweet potato vine. The combination is amazing! Definitely recommend this bright coral beauty!

Was lucky in 2020 to get a trial version of this variety from a local wholesaler. Did not disappoint. Got 2 of the retail versions in 2021 and already busting out some nice color on April 7.
