More information

An innovative hybrid plant, resulting from the cross-breeding between petunia and calibrachoa. It stands out with its large, bright yellow, slightly wavy flowers that bloom from spring until autumn. With a compact and spreading habit, it is ideal for hanging baskets, containers and borders, and prefers a sunny to partially shaded position in fertile, fresh and well-drained soil. Although it is a perennial in zones 9 to 11, it is generally grown as an annual in our climates due to its sensitivity to frost. Sow in warmth from late winter onwards.

Description

Growing x Petchoa 'Caliburst Yellow' from seed allows you to grow this remarkable hybrid plant at a lower cost, born from the cross-breeding between a petunia and a calibrachoa, offering vibrant and long-lasting flowering. Its spreading and slightly trailing habit, combined with its large bright yellow flowers with a golden centre, make it an ideal choice to brighten up planters, hanging baskets and flower beds. This tender perennial is usually grown as an annual and appreciates a sunny or lightly shaded position and well-drained, fertile and moist soil. It tolerates summer heat, but dislikes excess stagnant moisture or temperatures below -5°C. Very floriferous and easy to grow, it is a useful plant for long-lasting summer decoration.

x Petchoa ‘Caliburst Yellow’ is an intergeneric hybrid resulting from the cross-breeding between Petunia and Calibrachoa, belonging to the Solanaceae family. The Petunia genus includes 35 species of herbaceous, perennial or annual plants, native to the tropical regions of South America and particularly Brazil. Calibrachoas are tender perennial plants often grown as annuals. Very similar to petunias, they differ in the number of chromosomes that make up their genetic heritage and some morphological characteristics; their flowers are smaller, their vegetation is shrub-like or herbaceous with woody stems, their development is less significant, and they tolerate drought better. The cultivar ‘Caliburst Yellow’, developed by PanAmerican Seed under the code name ‘PAS1553948’, is the first Petchoa available from seed, combining the generous flowering of calibrachoas with the robustness of petunias. It is also known under the names Petunia × Calibrachoa Hybrid, Caliburst™ series or Petchoa × hybrida Caliburst™ Yellow. Its habit is both rounded and spreading, reaching a height of 15 to 25 cm and a width of 50 to 70 cm. Growth is rapid, with flowering beginning approximately 77 to 91 days after sowing. The 5 to 7.5 cm diameter flowers are bright yellow and slightly undulate. Flowering extends from spring to autumn. The non-sticky leaves are medium green, and the stems are flexible and branching. The root system is fibrous, adapted to well-drained soils.

In a container, Petchoa 'Caliburst Yellow' acts like a burst of sunshine, illuminating terraces and balconies. Its flexible and carpeting habit lends itself to combinations, mixed with the blue spikes of Salvia farinacea 'Victoria Blue', the purple foliage of Ipomoea batatas 'Sweet Caroline Purple' and the orange tones of Bidens 'Beedance Painted Red'. In gardens, it is a joyful plant to fully enjoy from May until the first chills.

Planting and care

To successfully sow Petchoa 'Caliburst Yellow', sow the seeds indoors 7 to 8 weeks before the intended outdoor planting date, approximately 7 to 10 days after the last frost.

Sow them on the surface of moist compost, without covering, as light promotes germination. Maintain a constant temperature of 20 to 25 °C in a bright environment. Germination typically occurs within 7 to 14 days.

Once the seedlings reach about 5 cm in height, prick them out individually. Pinch out the young plants when they have three true leaves to encourage branching. Before transplanting outdoors, gradually acclimatise the plants to outdoor conditions. Plant them in the ground or in pots after all risk of frost has passed, spacing them 25 to 38 cm apart.

Petchoa 'Caliburst Yellow' prefers a position in full sun or partial shade and fertile, moist, well-drained soil. It is important to keep the compost moist without excess water to avoid root rot.
