Superbells® Yellow Chiffon Calibrachoa

Superbells® Yellow Chiffon™ Calibrachoa is a mounding, trailing Calibrachoa valued for its long display of soft, blush-yellow flowers. It flowers from spring through fall and is especially suited to containers, hanging baskets, and window boxes, where its stems can spill over the edge. It is usually grown as an annual. ## Flowers and placement The exact [Proven Winners cultivar profile](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/calibrachoa/superbells-yellow-chiffon-calibrachoa) identifies soft yellow blooms and categorizes the flower shade as blush yellow. This mounding, trailing annual reaches 6–12 inches tall and 12–24 inches wide, flowers from spring through fall, and is listed for zones 9a–11b in part sun to sun. The live alias “Superbells Pink” conflicts with this exact cultivar’s explicitly yellow flowers, so it is omitted; the other existing general names are retained. The selection code is USCALI402-1. Give the plant room to trail and place it where the flowers can be viewed up close, such as a patio pot, window box, or hanging basket. [Kew’s taxonomic record](https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:38309-1) places Calibrachoa in the Solanaceae family. ## Growing conditions Choose a location with part sun to full sun. Use a well-drained potting mix and provide average moisture; Calibrachoa roots are sensitive to constantly wet soil. Containers make drainage and watering easier to manage, although a garden bed can work when the soil drains freely. The listed hardiness range is USDA zones 9a–11b; outside warm-winter areas, treat the plant as a seasonal annual. ## Maintenance Water when the mix begins to dry, before the plant wilts severely, and feed regularly during active growth. Deadheading is not needed to maintain flowering. Around midsummer, trim the longest stems to refresh the shape, removing no more than about one fifth of the plant, then feed to encourage new growth. Check hanging baskets more often during hot weather because they dry quickly.
