Container #17: Rockin Fuschia

May 22, 2020 By Cindy Jungman, SDSU Extension Master Gardener

This full sun container rocks with its bright colors! The thriller plant, Salvia “Rockin Fuschia,” grows 24” to 30” tall and keeps on blooming. The supercal plant is a cross between a petunia and calibrachoa. It is such a reliable and prolific plant and it comes in unique colors such as the “Sunray Pink” used in this container. I used the deep yellow calibrachoa to bring out the yellow throats of the supercal flowers.

RECIPE:
• (1) Salvia “Rockin Fuschia”
• (2) Supercal “Sunray Pink”
• (1) Calibrachoa “Deep Yellow”

TIPS:
• Remove spent blooms of the salvia to encourage continuous flowers.
• This container needs a lot of water as the plants mature.
• Trim the calibrachoa occasionally to keep it from becoming straggly.
