I enjoy comparing cultivars. Here are my Calibrachoa ratings Superbells Pomegranate Punch: 4.8 Excellent. Best color, most interesting color., floriferous, large flowers. There seems to be a fairly long period between flushes of bloom. Aloha Kona Hot Pink: 4.6 Excellent. Equally large and floriferous. Showy. Always in bloom. Minifamous Red Vampire. 4.2. Very good. Bright true red, smaller flowers. Calitastic Red Lips. Duller red. 4.0 Okay, but not as attractive as any of the above. Cabaret Red. Okay.3.5 Duller red, smaller flowers, less vigorous.. Similar color to Red Lips, just okay. Conga Red. 3.0 Less attractive color--a mediocre orangey red.

Beautiful long lasting blooms. Very heat tolerant as long as watered daily if in a container or hanging basket. Took a few weeks to get going, but when they did they were outstanding. Paired mine with Superbena Royale Peachy Keen, Whirlwind White Scaevola, and Dracaena spikes in containers that got the full force of the afternoon sun. All went well until the aphids and caterpillars decided they liked my containers as well. The Superbells Pomegranate Punch and spikes hung on well into the fall and finally died off after several severe frosts. These plants were well worth their price. Will definitely purchase again !

I recently planted this in a container with two smaller variety zinnias and am so pleased with the vigor and color of this supracalibrocha in pomegranate! I will definitely be on the lookout for more of this color and will see how it performs thru the summer and fall here in Western Iowa.

We planted 3 Pomegranate bushes and all the pomegranates when we open them they are white inside and the seeds are pink. I tried to find out what is going on? Or what do I really have. I talked to the Nursery and they said some are pink and some are red I walked away. Can you help? Sincerely, Diane Goldsmith

I bought this plant as a hanging basket at Home Depot in Tucson, AZ This was in Oct when we first moved here for the winter. I can't say enough about this plant - it has survived several frosts and still looks full and in bloom in April. The hot dry winds will probably take it's toll on the plant more than anything, but we will be leaving for Wis soon. This will definitely be on my list to plant up there.
