Proven Winners - 1.5 Pint Orange Calibrachoa 'Coral Sun' Annual Flowers - Live Plants

Proven Winners - 1.5 Pint Orange Calibrachoa 'Coral Sun' Annual Flowers - Live Plants do not like to have constantly damp soil. They will do well in the ground only with good drainage. For most gardeners, containers are the best use for calibrachoa. Raised beds would be a good choice for planting calibrachoa in the landscape. Proper watering is key to growing good calibrachoa. As the season goes on, the plants can sometimes start to look open and not as healthy. This can happen even if they are being watered and fertilized correctly. Fortunately this is a very simple fix. Grab a sharp pair of scissors or pruning shears and give the plants an all-over trim. This will cause them to branch out more and should stimulate new growth and flowering, especially if you fertilize right after trimming them back. Just like your hair looks a lot better after a trim, your calibrachoa often will as well. You will sacrifice flowers for a time, but the plants should shortly come back flowering more than ever. I will usually give my calibrachoa a trim in late July or early August. Should your plants have a few unruly stems that are longer than everything else, or sticking out oddly, you can trim these stems back at any time. Calibrachoa are very forgiving when it comes to trimming.
