Description
Calibrachoa 'Noa Ultra Purple' is a variety from the improved 'Noa' series, distinguished by early and long-lasting flowering and reduced maintenance. The plant, with a bushy and slightly spreading habit, bears countless small trumpet-shaped flowers in a beautiful purple-violet colour from spring onwards, with the depth accentuated by a dark violet central zone surrounding a small yellow heart. It forms lovely clumps with fine green and pointed foliage that joyfully spills over from flower pots. This fantastic annual plant, which requires little water and is resistant to rain, is essential in borders and hanging baskets. Give it plenty of sun and a very fertile, well-drained soil.
Calibrachoa, sometimes called Million Bells, 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 growth habit is shrubby or herbaceous with woody stems, their development is less significant, and they tolerate drought better. The hybrids that make up this group all belong to the solanaceae family (like tomatoes) and probably descend from an Argentine species called Petunia integrifolia.
The 'Noa Ultra Purple' variety quickly forms a wider than tall clump, 20 to 25 cm (8 to 10in) in height and 30 to 40 cm (12 to 16in) in diameter. Its long, flexible stems are covered throughout their length with small lanceolate, evergreen, fuzzy, and slightly sticky light green leaves. The flowering lasts from May until the first frost. Countless small funnel-shaped flowers, born in the axils of the leaves, 3 to 4 cm (1 to 2in) wide, display a very lovely purple-violet colour with a dark violet centre. They cover the faded flowers, which fall off on their own.
Calibrachoa 'Noa Ultra Purple' is ideal for hanging baskets, flower pots, and containers, but its heat resistance, drought tolerance, and excellent flower performance in the rain also allow it to be used in the ground, where it forms beautiful borders in sunny flower beds. It can be planted alone or accompanied by 2 other varieties with complementary colours (pale yellow, bright pink, orange) in troughs, flower pots, or balcony planters on the patio, balcony, or patio. They are also good greenhouse plants. Their combination with verbenas, Surfinia petunias, and nemophilas is remarkable. The choice is vast and allows for imagination and the tastes of every gardener, even inexperienced ones.
Note: Please be aware that our young plug plants are professional products reserved for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them in sheltered areas (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame...) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before being placed outdoors once the risk of frost has definitively passed.

Planting and care
You can plant your Calibrachoas 'Noa Ultra Purple' in the ground or in a pot. If you want to plant them in the ground, in soil enriched with compost, wait until the last heavy frosts have passed. In the meantime, you can pre-cultivate them in a pot in a warm and bright place to accelerate their growth. The 'Noa' Calibrachoas will flower from June to October. Plant them in a sunny position sheltered from the wind. They need a light and humus-rich soil, but above all a well-draining soil, and they are sensitive to stagnant water. Do not water them too much at the beginning of their growth as they are sensitive to excess moisture. They tolerate drought well, but will need regular watering during hot summer periods. Very floriferous and fast-growing, they are greedy. We recommend feeding them with a liquid fertiliser for petunias once or twice a week during the growth period. Although not obligatory, you can remove faded flowers and dry leaves as they appear to keep them looking good and extend the flowering period.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
