General Description

Calibrachoa are popular bedding plants because they are everblooming and easy. Colorburst™ yellow is a warm season annual to tender perennial with a compact, mounding habit. Throughout the season it is covered with numerous small, funnel-shaped, petunia-like flowers of pale yellow.

Heat-loving and everblooming, calibrachoa grow best in full sun and fertile, well drained soil. They should be fed regularly and do not require deadheading but bloom better late in the season if they are lightly cut back in late summer. These fantastic bedding plants are perfect for containers, hanging baskets and border edges.
