SuperCal® Blue Petchoa

SuperCal® Blue is a blue-flowered petchoa from the SuperCal series, bred by Sakata. Ball FloraPlant identifies this selection by code SAKPXC006 and lists protection number PP21,913; its plant label remains the hybrid taxon and trade color rather than an unverified cultivar epithet. [Ball FloraPlant](https://www.ballfloraplant.com/Products/Details/?phid=143605258000616) ## Flowering and Use This vigorous selection has large blue blooms and is suited to containers, hanging baskets and landscape borders. The SuperCal series is described as flowering early and continuing into fall, with blooms that recover quickly after rain. The official series site also notes performance in summer heat and light frost. [SuperCal](https://supercalpetunia.com/) ## Placement Grow in sun and allow about 14–28 inches of height and 14–32 inches of spread. These are grower culture ranges, so they are presented as ranges without selecting an unsupported single mature measurement. The product is annual in many gardens; protect it from damaging cold and follow local seasonal planting dates. ## Maintenance Keep container soil evenly moist rather than allowing wide swings between very wet and dry conditions. Faded blooms do not stick to the plant, so routine deadheading is not needed for appearance. Check containers regularly during warm weather because pots dry faster than garden beds.
