Cruze® Control Blue Splash - Calibrachoa

Cruze® Control Blue Splash has plum flowers with white striations accenting the petals, as described in the [Foxglove Farms listing](https://www.foxglove-farms.com/annuals-vines.html). Green Fuse Botanicals describes the Cruze® Control series as early flowering, large flowered, and mounded in its [culture sheet](https://green-fuse.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Calibrachoa-Cruze%C2%AE-Control.pdf). ## Placement Use this calibrachoa in a container, hanging basket, or combination planter, where its patterned flowers can be enjoyed at close range. The series is suited to 4–8 inch pots, baskets, and mixed planters. For outdoor growing, choose a sunny position; [NC State Extension’s general calibrachoa guidance](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/calibrachoa-x-hybrida/common-name/calibrachoa/) recommends full sun. ## Soil and water Grow in a free-draining potting mix and keep it evenly moist during active growth. Avoid overwatering, especially in cool or low-light conditions, and let the mix dry somewhat between irrigations as plants mature, following the breeder’s culture guidance. ## Maintenance The series is self-branching, so routine pinching is generally unnecessary. A light pinch a week or two after transplanting can improve the finished shape. Keep foliage dry when possible and provide good air circulation.
