Description: 'Diva Orange' is a striking cultivar of Calibrachoa, renowned for its abundant, deep orange and yellow, petunia-like flowers that create a vibrant display. 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 and prefers well-drained soils. Regular watering is essential, but it's important to avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot. Blooming from late spring through to autumn, 'Diva Orange' provides a continuous display of vibrant colour. This low-maintenance plant is self-cleaning, eliminating the need for deadheading.Â
