Hot Orange Calibrachoa

Aloha Kona Hot Orange is a compact, mounding calibrachoa with orange flowers and green foliage. Dümmen Orange lists this commercial selection for pots and baskets, making it a bright choice for patio containers and hanging baskets. ## Garden use Use Hot Orange in a sunny container, window box, or hanging basket, alone or paired with flowers in contrasting colors. Its mounding habit keeps the display full around the rim of a pot. ## Light and soil Give it sun and a moist, well-drained growing mix. Calibrachoa grows well in full sun and fertile soil; containers need regular feeding and a mix that drains freely. [Dümmen Orange](https://na.dummenorange.com/app/en/products/canada/calibrachoa/aloha-kona-hot-orange-2025/PAT_35123) identifies the selection as orange-flowered with green foliage, medium-compact mounding growth, and pot or basket use. [Illinois Extension](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/calibrachoa) provides general care guidance for calibrachoa, including sun, moisture, and seasonal flowering. ## Seasonal interest Expect warm-season color, with local bloom timing shaped by planting date and frost. Illinois Extension lists May through October bloom for calibrachoa in its regional profile. ## Maintenance Check pots frequently during warm or windy weather and water as the mix begins to dry. Feed container plants according to the fertilizer label, and trim stems if they become loose or uneven. Routine deadheading is generally unnecessary for calibrachoa.
