Description
x Petchoa BeautiCal Caramel Yellow is part of a recent line of hybrids that combine the qualities of petunias and calibrachoas (Million Bells). It is a compact plant with a semi-spreading habit. It blooms early in the season and lasts for months, bearing beautiful yellow funnel-shaped flowers with a caramel-infused throat. It is more water-efficient than traditional petunias, resistant to rain, and almost maintenance-free. It is perfect in borders, patios, or balconies.
x Petchoa are recent horticultural hybrids resulting from cross-breeding between petunias and calibrachoa. They are tender perennials often grown as annuals. Very similar to each other, these two types of plants differ in some morphological characteristics: calibrachoa 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 likely descend from an Argentine species called Petunia integrifolia. The improved BeautiCal series stands out with its compact habit, large flowers, and good resistance to diseases, weather, and heat.
BeautiCal Caramel Yellow qvariety quickly forms a dense clump, slightly wider than tall, reaching 25 to 30cm (10 to 12in) in height and 40 to 50cm (16 to 20in) in diameter. Its flexible stems are covered with small, lanceolate, evergreen, velvety, non-sticky dark green leaves that beautifully enhance its flowering. The single yellow flowers are traversed by discreet veins of an aged red that converge towards the caramel amber throat. The tireless flowering takes place from May until the frosts. The flowers measure 5 to 6cm (2in) in diameter and bloom in the axils of the leaves, covering the faded flowers that self-remove without remaining attached to the foliage.
BeautiCal Caramel Yellow is ideal for hanging baskets, planters, or containers. Its heat resistance and excellent flower endurance in rainy conditions make it perfect for creating beautiful borders in sunny flower beds. It can be planted alone or accompanied by two other varieties with complementary colours (Cinnamon, Sunray Pink), in troughs, flower pots, and planters on a patio or balcony. They are also good conservatory plants. They look wonderful with verbenas, lobelias, morning glories, and nemophila. The choice is vast, providing plenty of opportunity for every gardener to explore their imagination.
Please be aware that our young plug plants are professional products intended for experienced gardeners. Upon receipt, repot 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 frost has passed.

Planting and care
You can plant your BeautiCal petunias 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. They will flower from May-June to October. Plant them in a sunny location sheltered from the wind. They need light and humus-rich soil that is well-draining. They are sensitive to stagnant water. Do not water them too much at the beginning of their growth as they are sometimes sensitive to excess moisture. They are quite economical with water, but will need regular watering during hot summer weather.
They are fast-growing and produce an abundance of blooms, making them hungry plants. We recommend feeding them with a liquid fertiliser for surfinias once or twice a week during the growing season.
You can remove faded flowers and dry leaves as they appear to keep the plant looking neat and encourage new blooms.

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.
