Callie® 'Rose' Calibrachoa

Callie® ‘Rose’ is a low, trailing calibrachoa with bright rose-pink, bell-shaped flowers and a long flowering season. Its compact height and spreading stems suit hanging baskets, window boxes, and the edges of sunny containers or beds. ## Flowers and habit [Syngenta’s Callie® Rose profile](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70007858) lists it as Calibrachoa hybrida with trailing growth, pink/rose flowers, a 4–8-inch garden height, 12–16-inch width, and flowering from early spring through summer. Lucas Greenhouses identifies the exact cultivar as ‘Callie Rose,’ describes its bright violet-rose blooms, and gives the same height and spread range; it also lists full or part sun and container and landscape uses. The [RHS Callie series profile](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/120084/petunia-million-bells-series/details) describes calibrachoas as tender perennials commonly grown as annuals, with trailing stems and petunia-like flowers. ## Siting Give the plant a sunny position, with some afternoon shade where summers are especially hot. Use it as a spiller in a hanging basket or mixed pot, or plant it near a bed edge where its stems can extend. The [Syngenta Callie culture guide](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/sites/g/files/kgtney2381/files/media/document/2025/09/29/culture_vegetative_calibrachoa_callie_2025.pdf) recommends full sun for the series and notes that soil media should dry between irrigations. ## Maintenance Water containers when the growing mix begins to dry, then let excess drain away; avoid keeping roots saturated. [Lucas says this exact cultivar needs no deadheading](https://www.lucasgreenhouses.com/plant/Calibrachoa-Hybrid-Callie-Rose), while the [RHS gives regular deadheading as general Million Bells advice](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/120084/petunia-million-bells-series/details). Remove spent flowers if you prefer a tidier display. Trim wayward stems if needed to refresh the basket’s outline.
