Superbells® Watermelon Punch Calibrachoa

Superbells® Watermelon Punch™ is a mounding, trailing calibrachoa with velvety coral-pink flowers and a dark red-and-black eye. This annual is well suited to hanging baskets, patio planters, and combination containers, where its stems can trail down over the rim, as shown in the [Proven Winners cultivar profile](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/calibrachoa/superbells-watermelon-punch-calibrachoa). ## Flowers and size Proven Winners lists a height of 6–12 inches, a spread of 12–24 inches, and trailing growth up to 30 inches. Flowers continue from spring through fall and can last until hard frost. The coral-pink and dark-eyed blooms provide a strong color accent without requiring a large planting footprint. ## Siting and care Place in full sun to part sun. Calibrachoa grows best in a free-draining container mix and does not tolerate persistently soggy roots. [UMN Extension](https://extension.umn.edu/garden-and-home/yard-and-garden/gardening-in-minnesota/calibrachoa) recommends acidic pH of 5.0–6.5, frequent watering, and regular feeding; let the mix dry slightly between waterings, especially in baskets. Water needs rise in heat and wind, so check containers before plants wilt. ## Seasonal use Use Watermelon Punch as a spiller in a warm-season display; Proven Winners lists spring, summer, and fall flowering, with bloom through hard frost. Its published USDA range is 9–11, though it is commonly grown as an annual in colder climates. The breeder also notes that hummingbirds may visit the flowers. ## Maintenance Calibrachoa flowers cleanly without routine deadheading. Let the potting mix dry slightly between thorough waterings, but do not allow severe wilting; baskets may need frequent checks in hot weather. Feed regularly during active growth. If stems stretch or become uneven by midsummer, shorten the longest shoots lightly and follow with water and fertilizer.
