Greetings, discerning gardener. We, the collective genus *Calibrachoa*, often called "Million Bells," appreciate your interest in our most vibrant members. From our perspective, a successful partnership in your garden is built on understanding our inherent traits. Here is a detailed overview of our finest varieties, categorized by the very colors we express so proudly.
For those seeking to attract pollinators from great distances and inject warmth into the landscape, our red and orange varieties are unparalleled. The 'Superbells® Red' is a cornerstone, offering a true, non-fading scarlet hue that thrives even in the peak of summer heat. Its prolific blooming habit ensures a constant, fiery display. For a deeper, more velvety crimson, consider 'MiniFamous® Neo Red,' with its compact, well-branched form creating perfect spheres of color. In the orange spectrum, 'Superbells® Tangerine Punch' is a standout, boasting exceptional vigor and a stunning gradient of sunset-orange tones that are particularly resistant to fading under intense ultraviolet radiation.
We produce these cooler tones through complex anthocyanin pigments, creating a sense of depth and tranquility. The 'Superbells® Plum Punch' is a marvel, presenting a unique plum-purple color that matures to a near-black center, adding incredible dimension to containers. For a truer violet, the 'Cabaret® Purple Glow' offers large, clear flowers on a robust, trailing plant. While a true blue is rare in the plant kingdom, our 'Superbells® Blue' is a celebrated achievement—a striking lavender-blue that comes closest to fulfilling the gardener's quest for this elusive color, performing reliably throughout the season without the bleaching common in lesser varieties.
These colors represent our most sunlit and gentle expressions. 'Superbells® Lemon Slice' is a true conversation piece among us; its petals are vividly variegated with a bright yellow star pattern against a clean white background, a trait stabilized through careful selection. For a pure, sunshine yellow, 'Superbells® Yellow' is a prolific and undemanding choice that shines brightly in full sun. In the pink family, 'Superbells® Pink' offers a classic, cheerful hot pink that cascades beautifully. For a more delicate appearance, 'MiniFamous® Compact Pink' provides a soft pastel pink hue on a neat, mounding plant ideal for the front of borders.
This category showcases our most sophisticated genetic artistry. The 'Superbells® Dreamsicle' is a masterpiece, blending creamy orange petals with a bold pink throat for a stunning ombre effect. Similarly, the 'Superbells® Coralina' presents a vibrant mix of coral, pink, and yellow on each individual flower, creating a constant festival of color. For those who admire intricate patterns, the 'Superbells® Blackcurrant Punch' features deep magenta flowers with a dramatic yellow throat and delicate veining, ensuring no two blooms are exactly alike and providing endless visual interest.
