Calibrachoa Rave® Blue

Common Name: Million Bells 'Rave® Blue'

Description: 'Rave® Blue' is a captivating cultivar of Calibrachoa, celebrated for its abundant, medium violet-purple, petunia-like flowers adorned with a distinctive yellow star pattern at the center. 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 allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. Blooming from late spring through to autumn, 'Rave® Blue' provides a continuous display of vibrant colour. This low-maintenance plant is self-cleaning, eliminating the need for deadheading.
