The Chameleon Series of calibrachoa are a recent introduction with a fascinating ability to shift and change their colours in accordance with the weather! So, a single Calibrachoa ‘Chameleon Atomic Orange’ will bring you oranges, yellows and deep rich reds (with any multitude of tones in between) on a single plant – like the glowing embers of a fire or lava-flow.Calibrachoa ‘Chameleon Atomic Orange’ bears multitudes of small, trumpet-shaped blooms for an enthusiastic and ever-changing display from June to October. These tumbling, trailing delights are known as ‘self-cleaning’ – so no need to deadhead these beauties. Plants are perfect for hanging baskets, containers and raised beds – where you can make the most of their cascading habit. Plants prefer a site in moist, well-drained soil with full sun or part shade. As tender, evergreen perennials they are frequently grown as annual bedding in the UK. Should you wish to over winter them for blooms the following year they will require frost protection. Calibrachoa ‘Chameleon Atomic Orange’ grows to a height and spread of 30cm, with a trailing habit of up to 30cm.
