A luxurious display of fully double flowers will tumble from your baskets and window boxes all summer long with this fabulous new ‘Calita’ ensemble. Flowers are borne from June to October time, gently tumbling up to 30cm to create generous impact. Plants in the Calming Calibrachoa Calita Collection have extra weather resistance built in so will continue to bloom through summer and autumn, wind or rain. Even better, plants are ‘self-cleaning’, so spent blooms will drop without continual monitoring by you and can subsequently be swept up for composting. Your Calming Calibrachoa Calita Collection comprises three varieties: ‘Double Blue Improved’ in deep shades of purple and blue, ‘Double Blue Bicolour’ in lilac blues and white; and ‘Double Sky Blue’ in rich shades of lilac blue. Plant in well-drained soil which is sand or loam based. Position in full sun with a south or west facing aspect. Tender, herbaceous perennials most frequently grown as annual summer bedding – mature into gene
