Callie® 'Eclipse Lavender' Calibrachoa

Callie® ‘Eclipse Lavender’ is a compact, trailing calibrachoa with lavender-to-violet flowers and green foliage. It provides a long spring and summer display and is well suited to hanging baskets, patio pots, and mixed containers. ## Garden use and season Allow its stems to spill over the edge of a planter or basket, or use it as a soft lavender accent among brighter annuals. [Syngenta’s cultivar profile](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70075987) confirms the exact Callie Eclipse Lavender name and product number, describes its purple/lavender/violet color, trailing form, part sun to full sun, and spring-to-summer flowering. The breeder recommends it for hanging baskets and combinations. ## Growing conditions Use a sunny, sheltered site and a free-draining container mix that is kept moderately moist. The [NC State Extension guide](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/calibrachoa-x-hybrida/) describes calibrachoa as a tender perennial normally grown as an annual and recommends full sun and organically rich, well-drained soil. Its cultivar-specific dimensions are 4–8 inches tall and 12–16 inches wide, making it a useful compact spiller. ## Maintenance Water when the surface of the mix begins to dry, then allow excess water to drain. Remove stems that become uneven, and trim lightly if the plant outgrows its container. Routine deadheading is not needed for continued bloom.
