Calibrachoa Cabaret Bright Red ('Balcabrite') (PBR) (Cabaret Series)
mini petunia / million bells
Calibrachoa 'Cabaret Bright Red' is a soft, evergreen perennial with branching stems that are often cultivated as an annual. It produces an abundance of deep red, trumpet-shaped flowers with a yellow throat from late spring to the first frosts.
The velvety texture of the blooms makes them perfect for cascading from hanging baskets, containers, and window boxes. For a modern and striking seasonal arrangement, consider combining them with plants in shades of purple and deep blue.

How to care for Calibrachoa Cabaret Bright Red ('Balcabrite') (PBR) (Cabaret Series):
Grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can then either be planted outside into a well-prepared bed, or used to fill decorative pots and hanging baskets for the patio (9cm plants don’t need potting on but require initial frost protection).
Pinching out the growing tips will encourage them to become bushier, and feeding with a high-potash fertiliser at regular intervals throughout the summer will promote even more flowers to form.
