Calibrachoa hybrid 'Cabaret Scarlet'

Common Name: Calibrachoa

Calibrachoa hybrid 'Cabaret Scarlet' is a well-branched and free-flowering annual with a uniform, mounded, trailing habit. Blooms continuously all summer and fall. Heat tolerant. Self-cleaning, no deadheading necessary. Be careful not to over-water. Allow the top of the soil to dry before watering again. If your plant is wilting even though the soil is still damp you likely have a root rot problem.

Homeowner Growing & Maintenance 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". For beds with typical garden soils we recommend the similar looking "Littletunia" series of Petunias, which are not so ph sensitive.

Interesting Notes

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 if used once a week starting mid-June it should take care of these dastardly pests that have invaded most of the Midwest. We carry this fantastic product at our Kaw Valley Garden Centers in ready-to-use spray bottles.
