Midnight Purple Calibrachoa

Aloha Kona Midnight Purple is a compact calibrachoa with deep purple flowers, green foliage, and mounded stems that trail over a pot or basket. Its dark blooms add a saturated accent to sunny containers and mixed annual plantings. ## Garden use Use Midnight Purple in a hanging basket, patio pot, or window box where its trailing growth can spill over the rim. [Kaw Valley Greenhouses](https://www.kawvalleygreenhouses.com/plants/Detail/3013) lists this exact selection with purple flowers, green foliage, a 6–8 inch height, and a 12–16 inch spread. The [NC State Arboretum’s hanging-basket trial](https://jcra.ncsu.edu/photographs/website_media/pdf/758062-summary-by-series-hanging-baskets.pdf) also lists Aloha Kona Midnight Purple by name. ## Light and soil Grow it in full sun or part sun in a moist, well-drained potting mix. Calibrachoa grows best in fertile soil with good drainage; [Illinois Extension](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/calibrachoa) recommends regular feeding, particularly for container plants. Avoid keeping the roots constantly wet. ## Seasonal interest The plant can flower through the warm season. Illinois Extension lists May through October as the bloom season for calibrachoa in its regional profile. ## Maintenance Water when the surface of the potting mix begins to dry and let excess water drain away. Kaw Valley describes this selection as self-cleaning, so routine deadheading is unnecessary; trim loose stems only when needed to maintain its shape.
