  • Trailing habit
  • Striking flowers
  • Blooms all season
  • Great for containers

Details

Calibrachoa hybrida 'Cha-Cha Diva Hot Pink' provides a profusion of beautiful, rose and cream patterned blooms accented with a bright yellow throat. Blooms are mounded and trailing on these low-maintenance plants. Calibrachoa is best in containers including hanging baskets where it can display its fabulous trailing habit. Keeping plants too wet can lead to root rot diseases. Plant in a well-draining soil and 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 (you'll see blooms and buds get chewed away) we recommend Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew (Spinosad). It's safe enough to be used for organic growing. If used every two weeks starting mid-June it should take care of these bloom-destroying pests that have invaded much of the Midwest, especially urban areas.
