These were one of the best performers among the Superbells I planted in my balcony railing planters. They flowered prolifically from the time I planted the young small plants just after the last frost, until I had to yank out the enormous trailing 3 foot long masses they had grown into at the end of November so I could prepare for winter/spring. A good companion variety would be Lemon Slice, which grew at about the same rate and size. I also planted them with Blue Moon Punch and Tangerine Punch, which were slightly less vigorous but still kept up pretty well.

Features
Bright white 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 do well in the ground only with good drainage. For most gardeners, calibrachoa in containers are the best use for Calibrachoa kinds, just like Superbells Over Easy.
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 purchased 5 of these in May and it is August now. I planted them in just over half a day of sun next to my driveway, a very tough, hot dry spot. They are fantastic. I wish I cold post a picture. I have had calibrachoa die out or just stop flowering before but these keep on going. Beautiful.

Bought one 3 weeks ago and it was about the size of a baseball. Fast forward to June 6 and it has more than doubled in size and has plenty of large blooms about it. Pure white with faded yellow throat looks clean and classy. Strong, sturdy and deep green foliage adds stability and wind resistance. More a trailer/spreader than mounding habit but fills pretty well. Definitely recommend.

late April: Just a couple of weeks after planting these plants had lots of blooms and now, just over a month in their containers they are loaded with beautiful flowers - I can hardly see the leaves! I was hesitant to buy these; thinking they might not do well in New Mexico. They just might be my favorite purchase from this spring. Update June 20th: Purchased 2 Superbells® Over Easy for spring of 2018 and they are my favorite addition for this year. One is in the front of a 17' terracotta planter with 2 Toucan Dark Orange Canna Lily (now 6 or 7 Canna) across the back, and in the middle are 1 Lady Godiva, 1 Vermillionaire and 1 Sunsatia Blood Orange. Over Easy has been covered in a mass of blooms right through the wind, cold, and now lots of heat (really hot). I keep expecting it to slow down but it hasn't. The other Over Easy is in a 12" terracotta pot with just a Vermillionaire. It has even more blooms than the other! This simple 2 plant combo is so full and gorgeous and is definitely my favorite of the season.
