Calibrachoa Cruze Control Orange

Common Name: Million Bells 'Cruze Control Orange'

Description: 'Cruze Control Orange' is a vibrant cultivar of Calibrachoa, celebrated for its profusion of large, brilliantly colored orange, petunia-like flowers. This mounding plant exhibits a semi-trailing habit, making it an excellent choice for hanging baskets, containers, and garden beds. In Melbourne's climate, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soils. Regular watering is essential, but it's important to allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.
