Description
Calibrachoa Superbells 'Holy Cow' is a brand-new and spectacular variety of mini-petunia with fast and vigorous growth, resulting in a beautiful, compact, and trailing ball-shaped habit. It bears an abundance of small, trumpet-like flared blooms randomly streaked with either yellow, pink, or red, creating an original ensemble with an exotic and colourful appearance. Its long, flexible stems are adorned with small, pointed green leaves that remain impeccable throughout the season. This annual plant is very easy to grow in the sun in light, fertile soil that is not too dry.
Calibrachoa, sometimes called Million Bells, are frost-sensitive 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 are probably descended from an Argentinian species called Petunia integrifolia.
This variety quickly forms a dense mound that is wider than it is tall, reaching a height of 25 to 30cm (10 to 12in) and a diameter of 40 to 60cm (16 to 24in). Its flexible stems are densely covered with lanceolate, evergreen, hairy, and slightly sticky green leaves. It flowers tirelessly from June until the first frosts. A multitude of small, funnel-shaped flowers arise from the axils of the leaves. They are 3 to 4cm (1 to 2in) wide, remarkably variegated, with a golden yellow throat surrounded by a red halo. Unlike petunias, these calibrachoa do not need to be trimmed during the season.
Calibrachoa Superbells 'Holy Cow' is ideal for hanging baskets, flower pots, or containers. Its heat and drought tolerance, as well as its vigour, also mean it can be used in the ground, where it forms beautiful borders and spots of intense colour in flower beds. It can be planted alone or accompanied by 2 or 3 other varieties in complementary colours (blue, yellow, white) in troughs, flower pots, or planters on patios or balconies. They are also good plants for the conservatory. Their combination with verbenas, surfinia petunias, double bacopas, and nemesias is stunning. The choice is vast and provides plenty of opportunity for gardeners to indulge their imaginations.
Please note: our young plants in mini-pots are professional products intended for experienced gardeners. Upon receipt, transfer and store them under cover (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before planting outdoors once the risk of frosts has passed.

Planting and care
You can plant them in the ground or in pots. If you wish to plant them in the ground, wait until the last heavy frosts have passed. In the meantime, you can pre-cultivate them in a warm and bright place to accelerate their growth. Calibrachoas will flower from June to October. Plant in a sunny location sheltered from the wind. They need light and humus-rich, but above all, well-drained soil. Do not over-water them at the beginning of the growing season as they are sensitive to excessive moisture. They tolerate drought well, but will need regular watering during hot summer weather. They are hungry plants. We recommend feeding them with a liquid fertiliser for surfinias once or twice a week during the growing season. Remove faded flowers and dry leaves as they appear to keep them looking their best 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.
