EYECONIC™ Apricot Calibrachoa hybrida

EYECONIC™ Apricot is a semi-trailing Calibrachoa with large flowers and a contrasting eye, as described by [Danziger](https://www.danzigeronline.com/catalog/annuals/eyeconic-apricot/). The breeder lists a 12–14 inch height and 12–16 inch width for pots, hanging baskets, and ground-cover plantings. ## Flowering and placement The [Lucas Greenhouses listing](https://www.lucasgreenhouses.com/plant/Calibrachoa-hybrid-Eyeconic-Eyeconic-Apricot) identifies the exact cultivar’s bloom colors as red, bicolor, and apricot. Danziger describes the selection as semi-trailing with extra-large flowers and a strong eye-color contrast. Its spreading form suits containers and baskets as well as the edge of a seasonal bed. ## Growing conditions For Calibrachoa generally, [NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/calibrachoa-x-hybrida/) recommends full sun and moist, organically rich, well-drained soil. The extension describes the genus as tender and usually grown as an annual where winters are cold; those are general growing conditions. ## Maintenance Water containers regularly and allow excess water to drain. Feed during the blooming season, especially in pots and baskets. NC State notes that routine deadheading is not needed to encourage flowering.
