This will be the third year ordering these prolific Superbells from PW. The pale yellow blooms blend well in all sorts of color combos and the plants are vigorous. Instead of just pinks, I'm mixing with purples this year. Can't wait for Spring.

Features
Soft yellow blooms cover this mounding trailing calibrachoa plant. Superbells are best grown in containers where soil moisture can be more easily controlled, since they don't tolerate constantly wet soils well.

They will do well in the ground only with good drainage. For most gardeners containers are the best use for Calibrachoa.
Maintenance Notes:Superbells® calibrachoa plants are easy to grow and will flower non-stop from planting to hard frost if simple maintenance tasks are performed. Growing Superbells in full sun to part sun is important for their strong growth and bloom performance. They do not require deadheading, meaning the removal of spent flowers, to stay in bloom all season.
Calibrachoa’s roots are sensitive to wet soil and extreme soil pH levels. For these reasons, they grow best in containers with a well-drained potting mix such as Proven Winners Premium Potting Soil. If your garden soil is well-drained and slightly acidic, you may be able to grow calibrachoa in the ground.
Superbells calibrachoa thrive with average moisture and prefer the soil to dry out a little bit before they are watered again. They do not grow well and may develop root rot in soggy soil. However, do not let the plants wilt severely before watering again.
Superbells perform best when fed regularly with Proven Winners plant foods. At planting time, in containers and landscapes, mix Proven Winners Premium Continuous Release Plant Food into the soil, following the rates specified on the packaging. Reapply halfway through the growing season.
Additionally, Superbells should be fed with Proven Winners Premium Water Soluble Plant Food every third time you water or at least once per week according to the rates specified on the packaging.
By midsummer, it will be time to trim up your Superbells. Trim the longest stems, bringing them in line with the others, taking care not to remove more than 20% of the plant. Follow up by feeding them with water soluble plant food to promote fresh new growth and blooms.

SUPER is an understatement. Grew only 1 plant for my mom and she loved them. They are currently spilling down the pot. Zone 9b May 2021.

Have gotten one of these each of last 3 years and every season I like it more than before. Extremely reliable, durable and vigorous callie. All I do is water and feed it regularly. Not fussy about over or under watering, at least the first 2 seasons. Given the more subtle color of the flowers I would recommend grouping it with opposite colors like blues and reds. I use it with Royal Velvet, Indigo Charm and deep pinks. This variety spreads well and mounds nicely but won't take over a pot. Grows well and flowers prolifically. Definitely recommend.

This is one of my favorite "go to" plants for planter arrangements. It has never failed me yet. At the end of the season it's still going strong and occasionally doing double duty for plants that have faded late in the season.

It bloomed all summer and recovered well after it became dry.
