SuperCal Premium Orange Sunset Petchoa

SuperCal® Premium Orange Sunset Petchoa (Petunia x Calibrachoa hybrid ‘SAKPXC032’) lights up your garden with a dynamic blend of orange and gold tones, creating a memorable display from spring’s arrival until autumn’s chill. Each trumpet-shaped bloom showcases layered sunset shades that shift as the flowers mature, giving a lively two-toned effect. Derived from petunias and calibrachoas, this hybrid brings bigger petals and a resilience to rainy afternoons and scorching afternoons. Its self-cleaning flowers are a major plus for gardeners seeking continuous color without much upkeep.This Petchoa features a robust, trailing habit that settles neatly into containers or drapes from hanging baskets. Butterflies and hummingbirds often stop to sample nectar, while deer usually pass it by. SuperCal® Premium Orange Sunset Petchoa was developed through advanced breeding programs and has a sturdy mounded shape that complements borders or mass plantings. Growers report success with window boxes, raised planters, and even groundcover designs where moderate watering is practical.SuperCal® Premium Orange Sunset Petchoa CarePlant after all frost threats subside, choosing a spot that provides at least six hours of direct light. A loamy, well-draining soil with a balanced pH helps prevent waterlogging and encourages healthy root growth. Water SuperCal® Premium Orange Sunset Petchoa regularly to maintain even moisture levels, and feed monthly with a water-soluble fertilizer to support constant bud formation.Minimal deadheading is needed due to this hybrid’s self-shedding petals, though pinching early stems can increase branching. To shape the plant or encourage fresh flower waves, lightly prune any lanky stems in midsummer. Container-grown specimens benefit from steady watering, especially during warm spells, and good air circulation around the pot. If winter conditions are harsh, treat petchoas as a seasonal annual and discard after the first hard frost. In frost-free regions, mulch garden beds in winter and reduce watering as needed.SuperCal® Premium Orange Sunset Petchoa SpacingSpace each plant around 14 to 22 inches apart if you’re planting in rows or creating mass groupings for a color theme. A container at least 12 inches wide offers enough room for healthy root systems and a well-filled mound of blooms. SuperCal® Premium Orange Sunset Petchoa InformationUSDA Hardiness Zones: 9 – 11Plant Type: Light Exposure: Partial Sun to Full Sun (At Least 5 Hours of Direct Sunlight)Mature Height: 14 – 24 InchesMature Spread: 14 – 26 InchesSpacing: 14 – 22 InchesHabit: Mounded, TrailingFlower Color(s): OrangeFlower Description: Sunset OrangeBloom Period: Planting to FrostFoliage Type: Semi-EvergreenFoliage Color(s): GreenFoliage Description: GreenSeasonal Interest: Spring Flowering, Summer FloweringWatering: AverageResists: Deer, Disease, Pests & InsectsTolerates: HeatAttracts: HummingbirdsContainer Role: SpillerUses: ContainersFeatures: Low MaintenanceBrand: Proven SelectionsCommon Name: SuperCal® Premium Orange Sunset PetchoaOther Name(s): Orange Sunset PetchoaScientific Name: Petunia × Calibrachoa hybrid ‘SAKPXC032’
