Superbells® Cherry Red Calibrachoa

Superbells® Cherry Red is a trailing calibrachoa with bright cherry-red flowers and contrasting yellow throats. Its small, petunia-like blooms flower from spring through fall and bring a warm accent to baskets, window boxes and mixed containers. Proven Winners lists a height of 6–12 inches, a spread of 12–24 inches and hardiness in USDA zones 9–11; it is grown as an annual in most climates. ## Siting and growth Grow in part sun to full sun, with good drainage. A container is often the most reliable setting because calibrachoa roots dislike constantly damp soil. The [University of Minnesota Extension](https://extension.umn.edu/garden-and-home/yard-and-garden/gardening-in-minnesota/calibrachoa) recommends sunny exposure, acidic well-drained media and regular feeding for container-grown plants. Avoid heavy, wet soil and let the mix dry slightly at the surface between waterings. ## Bloom and upkeep The [Proven Winners profile](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/calibrachoa/superbells-cherry-red-ii-calibrachoa) matches the catalog’s cultivar code USCAL23101 and lists spring, summer and fall flowering. It notes that deadheading is not needed. Regular feeding supports container performance; trim only the longest stems if the plant becomes uneven, then continue normal watering and feeding. In colder regions, enjoy it through the frost-free season and replace it afterward. ## Maintenance Maintain even moisture without waterlogging, provide regular container fertilizer according to its label, and remove damaged stems. Skip routine deadheading; discard or overwinter indoors only where suitable conditions are available.
