Calibrachoa Rave® Cherry

Common Name: Million Bells 'Rave® Cherry'

Description: 'Rave® Cherry' is a striking cultivar of Calibrachoa, celebrated for its abundant, cherry-red, 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 avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot.
