Since 2018, Superbells Double calibrachoa varieties have won 67 awards, yet in my travels, gardeners seem to rarely venture off the single-petaled path. I admit that I have a flaming passion for the punch varieties like Superbells Grape Punch, Pomegranate Punch and Black Currant Punch. The last four years, however, I have gotten to try some double selections, and they have all blown away any misconceptions I might have had — and probably yours too.
I am assuming you haven’t tried Superbells Double varieties. They look like miniature roses except they have no thorns, no black spot and no powdery mildew, and they don’t need deadheading. They will also just keep up this performance of nonstop blooming. Now you are beginning to get the picture of why the trophy case is chock-full of Top Performer and Perfect Score awards.
One of the Garden Guy’s two biggest surprises with all Superbells calibrachoas is their ability to bring in butterflies and hummingbirds. This was so unexpected and is a real visual treat. I know what you are thinking: Yes, but double-flowered selections? It is the same with them: cloudless sulphur butterflies, swallowtails and hummingbirds.
