Tumultuous trumpets of wonderous whiteCalibrachoa Can Can Sunlight, are fun, high-spirited plants that pack punch, if you don’t mind the pun. As you lay on your sun lounger and gaze over at these mesmerising plants, you may find yourself wishing that the trumpet shaped blooms would break into song. The wonderous white flowers, with their sunshine yellow throats, adorn semi-trailing stems in abundance from May to first frostsEvergreen, half-hardy perennials, often referred to as ‘mini petunia’ due to their similar requirements. Fairly heat and drought tolerant, they prefer a position in full sun and moist but well-drained soil. They can be planted in the ground, although we suggest planting them in pots or hanging baskets where you will get the full benefit of their semi-trailing habit. H: & S:30cm.
