We recommend planting this combination in 10ā-12" containers. They will fill out the entire planter, although a light trim in early July will encourage even more branching!
The 'Amethyst Dreams' Combination adds instant impact all on its own. There is no easier way to bring quick color to your outdoor containers! If you're interested in using the Thriller, Filler, Spiller container planting technique, our 6.5 Combinations are the perfect Filler. You can use additional Thrillers and Spillers to enhance the look but do be sure to increase your container size to at least 14"-16" allowing for better root growth and increased airflow which decreases disease pressure in the planter.
Suggested Thrillers: AngelfaceĀ® Cascade Snow Summer Snapdragon (Angelonia), ColorBlazeĀ® Newly Noirā¢ (Coleus), or 'Denim 'n Lace' Russian Sage (Perovskia)
Suggested Spillers: Proven AccentsĀ® Tricolor (Ipomoea), Proven AccentsĀ® Sweet Caroline Sweetheart Lime (Ipomoea), or Silver Fallsā¢ (Dichondra)

Care: Calibrachoa do not like to have constantly damp soil. In containers, allow the top of the soil to dry before watering again. If your plant is wilting even though the soil is still damp, you likely have a root rot problem. The plants are low maintenance with no deadheading needed. They will do best if fertilized weekly with Proven Winners Water Soluble Plant Food. These extra applications of plant food really make a difference in performance through the summer! If your container begins to look open or a bit tired in mid to late summer, a light trim can be very beneficial. Use a sharp pair of scissors or pruning shears to trim back a maximum of 20% of the plant to encourage more branching.
