Don't fall for these pretty pictures! This may be a great plant but what you get ordering from this website will not be a quality plant. What I received was a smashed up mess. The roots barely filled an inch and 1/2 of a 4 1/2 inch tall pot. For $9 plus shipping! Compare this to the same plant from Ace Hardware with three times the root system for less than $5. I will never purchase from this website again.

Features
Bright orange double blooms cover this mounded trailing plant. Most Calibrachoa are best grown in containers where soil moisture can be more easily controlled, since Calibrachoa doesn't tolerate constantly wet soils well. They make excellent hanging baskets and wonderful components in container recipes.

They will do well in the ground only with good drainage. For most gardeners containers are the best use for 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 got to trial this plant early and it is amazing! The color is so beautiful and true to habit. I planted it in a container with Summer Wave Large Blue Torenia and Colorblaze Wicked Witch Coleus. The combination is beautiful and I cannot wait to buy more next season!
