![]() I like to use a granular time-release food in the potting soil when I plant and then supplement with liquid plant foods during the season as Supercal and their cousins petunias and calibrachoa are all hungry feeders. Supercal looks fantastic in large hanging baskets, in patio pots or as a mounded ground cover in garden beds The only trick is to make sure you feed the plant frequently with plant fertilizer. Supercal is easy to grow, I put them in hot and sunny locations in spots where the spreading mounds show off their flowers. Supercal is a cross between a petunia and a calibrachoa – has round flowers and a nice green foliage color that grow in a nice ‘mounded’ plant habit – it grows up a bit before it hangs over the edge of a pot. New colors this year are a purple, a showy artist rose and terracotta. Supercal has 6 colors – from last year we have a blue, rose and a vivid pink. Many people stop by to ask what it is because it looks so good. At my house it was the best flower in one of the hottest summers I can remember! We use Supercal in the “pots on poles” you can see from Sprinkle Road outside the store. Remember how hot it was a few years ago? When everything else stopped blooming in the heat – Supercal kept on flowering and flowering. Supercal’s does great in the heat of the summer. I love Supercal for baskets and patios and flower beds – this is a plant that tolerated everything we threw at it! Early season cold – no problem! Extreme summer heat – no worry! Sunny and warm spots – piece of cake for Supercal! Supercal has become one of my favorite plants because it just keeps looking great all summer long. Supercal will stand up strong to anything you can throw at it. Yes, Superman can fly through the air but his weekness is Kryptonite.
