A wonderful new Petunia/Calibrachoa cross that is simply smothered in blooms. The first petchoa from seed, Caliburst Petchoa is a Petunia sp. x Calibrachoa sp. cross. Petchoa is a hybrid that combines the best characteristics of two popular species: petunias and calibrachoa. Petunia contributes large flower size, excellent vigor, weather resilience, strong roots, pH tolerance, and ease of growth. Calibrachoa provides vibrant flower color and lush, non-sticky foliage, which not only keeps fingers clean but also allows spent blooms to fall cleanly from the plant. But petchoa has better disease resistance and rain, heat, and cold tolerance than both its parents. It is a tender perennial (Zones 9-11), often grown as an annual, that blooms a full 3 seasons, from early spring through autumn. Free and continuously flowering, this petchoa creates a canopy of color with large, showy, vibrant yellow blooms that are prettily ruffled and long lasting.
Caliburst Yellow Petchoa grows vigorously and has a mounded, spreading but controlled habit. It's perfect in containers, window boxes, and hanging baskets but makes great edging or ground cover in beds and borders. Pelleted seeds for easy handling.
