Cha-Cha™ Lavender Calibrachoa hybrida

Cha-Cha™ Lavender is a vigorous, mounded calibrachoa with light-purple flowers and a spreading habit. It is suited to larger patio pots, mixed containers, and hanging baskets, where its arching stems can spill over the rim. ## Flowers and habit [Ball FloraPlant identifies the variety](https://www.ballfloraplant.com/Products/Details/?phid=066007114002843) as Calibrachoa Cha-Cha™ Lavender and describes it as a new light-purple color in the series. The breeder characterizes Cha-Cha as vigorous and mounded, with large cascading blooms, early flowering, and a size range of 6–12 inches tall by 12–24 inches wide. Ball recommends sun or partial sun and lists large containers, hanging baskets, and mixes as uses. [A greenhouse listing for the Cha-Cha series](https://glenleagreenhouses.com/products/calibrachoa-cha-cha) also describes it as vigorous and color-rich, suitable for baskets and containers. ## Siting Choose a bright, sunny position with room for stems to extend outward. A large basket or patio planter shows off the mounded center and cascading edge; in a mixed container, position it where it can trail without covering slower neighboring plants. Use a free-draining growing mix and avoid leaving the roots in saturated media. ## Maintenance Water when the surface of the potting mix begins to dry, and allow excess water to drain. Clip a few overlong stems if the plant becomes lopsided, but retain its natural cascading outline. Check crowded baskets regularly so neighboring plants do not shade out the flowering canopy.
