Calibrachoa can be fantastic in pots or in-ground plants, but only if they are planted in well-drained soil. Raised beds would be a good choice for planting Calibrachoa in the landscape. In the ground they shouldn't need much additional water unless conditions are very dry. If the roots are kept too wet it can lead to root rot diseases. In containers, allow the top of the soil to dry before watering again.
The plants are low-maintenance with no deadheading needed. They will do best if fertilized on a regular basis to promote flowering. Flourish Plant Food is fabulous to feed to develop a profusion of flowers . FULL SUN H 10x 30cm
