What plant do flower growers call "petunia's younger sister": this flower will make you fall in love with it
Sweet, gentle, neat and incredibly beautiful – these are the epithets that fit the description of the flower we will talk about today.
Moreover, as noted by the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , the plant, which was nicknamed “petunia’s younger sister”, does not cause any trouble in cultivation.
You may have already guessed that we are talking about calibrachoa.
Its inflorescences are very similar to those of petunia, only smaller in size – about 3 cm.
Other differences include the shape of the leaves, which are also smaller than those of petunias.
The stem of calibrachoa is woody, and the shoots can reach two meters, which is why the flower is mostly grown in pots.
Pots in which calibrachoa bushes “spike” and are strewn with flowers can be used to decorate gazebos, balconies, door entrances and other spaces.
The flower is grown through seedlings, but if you do not want to mess around with small, dust-like seeds, you can buy ready-made seedlings. One flowerpot will need 3-4 plants.
