We never had to deadhead the plants – EVER. For the end user, the good news is they performed exceptionally well in high heat and direct sun! The claim of self-cleaning was evident in our trials throughout the summer. The advantage for growers is the SuperCal’s can be grown cool, so that’s a nice energy savings. Our unusually hot and dry summer really put this series to the test, and I must say we were very pleased with the overall results. We conducted a thorough container trial of the SuperCal’s this summer at our facility here in Rochester, NY. Examples: Large showy flowers (petunia genetics), non-sticky leaves (Calibrachoa), flower power (both), tolerance to high soil pH (petunia), self-cleaning plants (both), excellent performance in both cool and warm environments (both). What makes them a value is that the cross brings the best characteristics of each genus to the series, and pretty much gets rid of the icky traits. What makes SuperCal unique is that they’re a genetic cross between the Petunia and Calibrachoa genera. Now that the growing season has begun for next spring, it’s definitely worth revisiting the SuperCal series as they continue to grow in demand and popularity. Super colour, super easy SuperCal Petchoa are known for unique colours and large flowers. Part petunia, part calibrachoa, they combine the very best of both to deliver superior performance and higher satisfaction. Last winter I wrote a blog post about this relatively new genus and series. When it comes to garden performance, SuperCal are uniquely superior to all other petunias.
