You will need more water in pots to keep them happy and healthy as potting mix is perfectly drained. Water to establish and then keep moist in active growth. You can add a liquid fertiliser every other week to keep them blooming at their best, or use a slow release fertiliser spring and summer – remember they flower a lot so need a good supply of nutrients. Grow your SuperCal Petchoas in a sunny spot with well drained soil.

They are frost tolerant and don’t mind the heat - in fact they are more tolerant than either Petunias or Calibrachoas. SuperCal Petchoas will soon be one of your favourite plants.

Plus, the plants are self cleaning, so you don’t have the hassle of sticky flowers as you do with Petunias. The blooms open across three seasons and are fantastic no matter the weather the flowers remaining open, even after rainfall. You get the big flowers and easy growing nature of the Petunias and the colour, trailing habit and flower power of the Calibrachoa. SuperCal Petchoas are a hybrid of Petunias and Calibrachoas and give you the best of both worlds.

The plants have a naturally rounded, well branched habit so there is no need to pinch out the foliage. In pots, choose ones that are around 30-40cm so that the foliage can spill from the sides. In the garden, place them around 40cm apart. SuperCal Petchoas are so wonderfully versatile, they have a semi trailing to trailing habit and can be grown in gardens, containers, window boxes, hanging baskets, as ground covers, garden edging or filler plants in your borders.
