SLIGHTLY STRAWBERRY™ Anisodontea hybrid 'Nuanilainp’ USPP21393 Can4378
Attention Southern Growers...
Slightly Strawberry blooms best in regions of the country with cool nights.
As a result, this plant will stop flowering in the summer in those areas of
the southern U.S. where high humidity keeps night temperatures high.
For best results, grow the plant in frost-free areas during the cooler
months of the year when nature works to help prolong flowering.

Angelonia hybrid ‘**’ USPPAF CanPBRAF
Angelface varieties are prized as vertical accent plants everywhere. Undoubtedly the finest
Angelonia on the market, Angelface varieties are semi-upright with a good branching habit, have extra
large, brilliantly colored blooms, and thrive in hot, humid conditions. These beauties make the perfect summer gallons.
ANGELFACE® Wedgwood Blue Improved Angelonia hybrid
Wedgwood’s bicolored flowers perform in the heat, and breeding improvements include much shorter internode
spacing, which creates a more compact plant with branching that is more consistent with other varieties in
the Angelface collection. New this year.

Notes:
Pinch 6" or larger pots at transplant for large plugs, 2 weeks

SUNDAZE® Blaze Bracteantha bracteata
Sundaze Blaze is incredibly sun and heat tolerant and has a
strong mounding habit. Its deep red-orange blooms and yellow
centers add to the Sundaze color palette and create strong fall
interest in the garden. This plant’s distinctive narrow foliage
improves the flower-to-foliage coverage, plus it means this
plant will require less water. New this year.

Requires high light in production.
Needs no more than 150 ppm fertilizer for optimal growth.

are recommended. Increased air circulation and watering in the morning will
also help control mildew. Winter flowering occurs in Sunbelt states.

SUPERBELLS Calibrachoa hybrids
®
6-10"
Vigor: 3
Superbells’ superb color, heat tolerance, disease resistance, and large blooms make this series a star performer.
With growth habits that range from the small and compact to the cascading, Superbells create endless
possibilities in the landscape and in containers.
SUPERBELLS® Pomegranate Punch Calibrachoa hybrid
Pomegranate Punch puts on a vivid show for the consumer and gives growers and retailers diversity on the retail bench because
it offers a wider color range in a single plant. From the vermilion red of the petal to the dark burgundy/black of the throat and
the tiny yellow eye, this plant has a two-toned richness that adds dimension to the canopy of the plant. New this year.
SUPERBELLS® Spicy Calibrachoa hybrid
The warm-toned blooms of Superbells Spicy are always evolving, from more oranges and yellows in the summer to
more red and burgundy tones in cooler temperatures. But because of its strong genetics,
you’ll never see red blooms on one side of the plant and yellow blooms on
another. Instead, Spicy delivers a wide coloration with the overall
effect being a bronze orange mix. New this year.

Preventive fungicides are recommended at transplant.
Requires high light in production.
Needs 200 ppm fertilizer for optimal growth.
Keep pH between 5.5 and 5.8.
Yellow tips are often an indicator of high pH.
Blue has a tendency to stretch under low light conditions.
Red and Cherry Red are very responsive to PGRs, so lower rates should be used.
Cold is a good natural growth regulator.
Blue, Scarlet, Tequila Sunrise, and Dreamsicle have upright growth habits in
lower light early production and may require extra pinching and PGRs.

Florel® on baskets and larger pots to promote branching. Calibrachoa are sensitive
to pythium, phytopthera, and thielaviopsis, but Superbells have higher levels of tolerance
to these diseases. Proper pH and good sanitation practices help alleviate problems.
Increased air circulation, proper water management, and good soil porosity are
also critical. Scout regularly for aphids, especially in baskets.

Reduce pH in Hanging Baskets
Generally in cold, cloudy weather you want a Cal-Mag blend of
fertilizer with high nitrate nitrogen, as this grows a better plant in
winter conditions. Use a high ammonium nitrogen fertilizer to slowly
lower media pH, but there is a catch. Under winter’s low light and
temperature conditions, high ammonium fertilizers can cause
ammonium toxicity and cause the crop to grow too fast (meaning
more PGRs will be required). Quick changes in pH usually cause
additional problems. Other ways to reduce pH are to add more
acid to your fertilizer injector and increase the overall acidity,
but use care as you can also cause precipitation of some
of the fertilizer elements if not handled properly.
