Calibrachoa hybrida 'Chameleon Atomic Orange'
Home / Our Plants / Calibrachoa, Million Bells
Details
Calibrachoa hybrid 'Chameleon Atomic Orange' is unique for it's varying patterns of orangey-rose and primrose blooms. Some blooms will be predominately primrose-yellow and others will be predominately cherry-rose and they change throughout the season, but always look stunning! Heat tolerant. Cascading habit; low maintenance. Best in containers including hanging baskets where it can display its fabulous trailing habit. Keeping plants too wet can lead to root rot diseases. Allow the top of the soil to dry before watering again. Self-cleaning, no deadheading necessary.
Growing Tips
Calibrachoas are ph sensitive and need a well-draining soil. Typical garden soils are not acidic enough to keep Calibrachoas from having stunted, yellow growth. They perform best in a good quality potting soil such as our own Kaw Valley "Good Stuff". If you have problems with budworms (blooms and buds getting chewed away) we recommend Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew. It's safe enough to be used for organic growing, and we have seen excellent results. We carry this fantastic product at our Kaw Valley Garden Centers.
