Petchoas are a unique hybrid between a Petunia and a Calibrachoa. These plants offer the large flowers of petunias and the bountiful blooms of calibrachoa (nicknamed ‘Million Bells’). These annuals are high performers in the hot summer and are even self-cleaning! Two varieties stand out for their well-branched, huge and mounding habit, covered with electric-colored blooms: Petchoa’s: SuperCal Neon Rose and Violet.īUT best of all, they aren’t as fussy about the ph of the soil like Calibrachoas, and will thrive in flower beds or in pots with any good soil. You will have a hard time not having these every year once you try them and they look great either as a component with other vigorous varieties or by themselves as a huge mound of heat tolerant, easy care beauty. Just fertilize often (about every one to two weeks) and spray with Spinosad to prevent budworm from chowing down all the blooms. You can’t talk about petunias without mentioning the ‘King’ of all petunias ever in the history of the plant kingdom, Supertunia Vista Bubblegum. Absolutely, by leaps and bounds, the most vigorous and most covered in blooms throughout the season, with the bonus of being self-cleaning (no deadheading needed), ‘Vista Bubblegum’ is the best petunia, and maybe best performing annual, on the market, and will become one of your ‘can’t-live-without’ plants after one try! They are extremely heat tolerant and their bubblegum pink flowers work as a butterfly magnet. The ‘Vista’ series of ‘Supertunias’ from Proven Winners will outperform and outgrow all other spreading petunias. You’ll enjoy a nice, pink glow over your patio with ‘Vista Bubblegum’ in your large hanging baskets or as a spiller in your large container gardens. Also a great plant for beds and in the landscape.
