Favorite calibrachoa superbells! She blooms in my high desert z6 Colorado triple digit heat through November 30 degree cold, even after frost. Just crazy beautiful. I will never be without it in my large and small pots, south facing brutal western afternoon sun, not much else can survive on that deck.

Features
Everything vintage is trending with many gardeners, and this antique amber-orange veined, fully double-flowered calibrachoa is everything they are looking for. Its color shift when grown outside makes it even more compelling, with purple tones appearing in its veins and petals. Try combining Superbells Double Vintage Coral with deep reds and purples, golds or creamy white in hanging baskets, upright containers and window boxes. This new variety was a standout performer in our Florida trials, ranking as the top Superbells calibrachoa and one of the best plants overall in the entire trial. Its habit is impressively robust, and the blooms keep on coming all season without deadheading.

They will do well in the ground only with good drainage. For most gardeners containers are the best use for double-flowered calibrachoa.
Maintenance Notes:Superbells® calibrachoa plants are easy to grow and will flower non-stop from planting to hard frost if simple maintenance tasks are performed. Growing Superbells in full sun to part sun is important for their strong growth and bloom performance. They do not require deadheading, meaning the removal of spent flowers, to stay in bloom all season.
Calibrachoa’s roots are sensitive to wet soil and extreme soil pH levels. For these reasons, they grow best in containers with a well-drained potting mix such as Proven Winners Premium Potting Soil. If your garden soil is well-drained and slightly acidic, you may be able to grow calibrachoa in the ground.
Superbells calibrachoa thrive with average moisture and prefer the soil to dry out a little bit before they are watered again. They do not grow well and may develop root rot in soggy soil. However, do not let the plants wilt severely before watering again.
Superbells perform best when fed regularly with Proven Winners plant foods. At planting time, in containers and landscapes, mix Proven Winners Premium Continuous Release Plant Food into the soil, following the rates specified on the packaging. Reapply halfway through the growing season.
Additionally, Superbells should be fed with Proven Winners Premium Water Soluble Plant Food every third time you water or at least once per week according to the rates specified on the packaging.
By midsummer, it will be time to trim up your Superbells. Trim the longest stems, bringing them in line with the others, taking care not to remove more than 20% of the plant. Follow up by feeding them with water soluble plant food to promote fresh new growth and blooms.

Purchased locally 2024, it was overgrown and floppy. I pruned and fertilized and they have been growing into a gorgeous pair of flowering pots. I love the colors and really hope to find it again! Read the PW article “Truly Super Superbells” for tips. It was very helpful.

I just love the color of the Vintage Coral. It's been a vigorous container plant, even holding up to the many days of heavy rain we've had this season. Fertilize weekly.

I ordered 6 of these along with 20+ other annuals for my full sun window boxes. Everything arrived in excellent condition, but sadly, 5 of the 6 Superbells Double Vintage Coral died within a week of planting them while everything else flourished They are in full sun and weren't over-watered, so I'm not sure what happened.
