Description
Calibrachoa Cabaret® Special Diva Cherry is a star for balconies and terraces. Its abundant, vibrant cherry-red flowers with a yellow heart bloom from summer to autumn. This mini-petunia stands out for its pretty semi-trailing habit and its resistance to bad weather. Its early and prolonged flowering, along with its ease of cultivation, will delight all gardeners. An ideal choice for hanging baskets, pots and borders!
Calibrachoa Cabaret® Special Diva Cherry belongs to the Solanaceae family, just like petunias, but is distinguished by its more compact habit. Native to the tropical and subtropical regions of South America (Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina), the species Calibrachoa parviflora grows naturally on sandy, moist soils along watercourses. This 'Diva Cherry' cultivar is part of the Cabaret® Special series, a sub-series of the Cabaret® range developed by the breeder Ball FloraPlant. Cabaret® Special brings together cultivars with vivid and original colours, often bicolour or with contrasting patterns, selected for their particularly abundant flowering, which is early and weather-resistant. These varieties are also known for their ability to flower even in low light conditions, for example in spring and late season.
Cabaret® Special Diva Cherry is characterised by trumpet-shaped flowers 2 to 3 cm in diameter, of an intense cherry red with a bright yellow throat, and dark green, small, slightly downy and sticky leaves. At maturity, the plant reaches a height of 20 to 25 cm with a spread of 30 to 45 cm, forming a dense, well-branched cushion. In a pot (diameter 10.5–12 cm), it adopts a semi-trailing habit. Its flexible, branched stems lengthen quickly, bearing a multitude of flowers from May-June until the first frosts. The flowering is self-cleaning; faded flowers drop off without the need for deadheading. Although perennial in theory, this calibrachoa is generally grown as an annual in Europe, as it cannot tolerate frost.
Calibrachoa Cabaret® Special Diva Cherry can be used in hanging baskets and containers to adorn balconies and terraces, or in beds to border flowerbeds and create bright splashes of colour. Its colouring pairs wonderfully with the electric blue of Lobelia erinus ‘Crystal Palace’, which is highly complementary. You can also pair it with Bidens ferulifolia ‘Compact’, with its yellow, mini-daisy-shaped flowers. For a soft, romantic composition, combine it with Verbena ‘Superbena Royale Peachy Keen’ and its palette of peach to orange-pink tones.
To create a multicoloured border, alternate 'Diva Cherry' with a white mini-petunia (Superbells Unique White) and a bright pink one (Noa Bubblegum).
Note: Please be aware, our plug plants are products for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, pot them on and store them under cover (conservatory, greenhouse, cold frame...) at a temperature above 14°C for a few weeks before being placed outdoors once the risk of frost has completely passed.

Planting and care
You can plant your Calibrachoa Cabaret Special Diva Cherry in the ground or in a pot. If you wish to plant it in the ground, wait until the last heavy frosts have passed. In the meantime, you can grow it on in a pot in a warm and bright location. Calibrachoas will flower from June to September-October. Plant them in a sunny position, or in partial shade in a hot climate, sheltered from the wind. They require a light, humus-bearing soil, above all, well-draining. Do not water them too much at the start of the growing season, as they are sensitive to excess moisture. They tolerate drought well but will need regular watering during intense summer heat. They are floriferous and fast-growing, hungry plants. We advise feeding them with a liquid fertiliser for surfinias once or twice a week during the growth period. Remove faded flowers and dry leaves as they appear to maintain a beautiful appearance and prolong flowering.

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).
