From Labradoodles to Petchoa
Designer breeding, hybrids, Crossovers…. The concept of combining two great things into something even better is prevalent today in everything from dogs to cars. In seed genetics the same trend has produced some of the best new products for lawn and garden as well.
What is a Petchoa?
Calibrachoa is often called million bells or wild petunia.
With the visual similarities to the traditional petunia these annuals combine to form a great hybrid.
With catchy names like Petchoa, SuperCal Petunia, or Calitunias these are fast becoming a staple annual for lawn and garden centers nationwide.
Here is what to expect from a petunia/calibrachoa cross:
- Vigorous Growth with large plentiful blooms
- A compact spreading habit that is excellent in containers
Here in the southeast, the performance and easy care of this colorful hybrid have made it one of spring’s most popular choices.
