They are also more tolerant to cool and hot growing conditions.another great characteristic for growing in Calgary. This is a key characteristic for growing in Calgary because our tap water is highly alkaline. The Petchoas are more tolerant to higher pH than the calibrachoas. This allows the spent blooms to fall away cleanly, keeping the plant looking tidy without deadheading. Like the calibrachoa foliage, the petchoa foliage is not sticky. The petchoa blooms do not produce seed, so the flowers tend to hang on a lot longer than many petunias.
SuperCal® Cherry is more pinkish-red than true red. The bloom colours are very strong, like the calibrachoas. Petchoa blooms are as wide but a bit shorter and look scalloped or more fused than a petunia bloom. The petchoa flowers are very close in size to many spreading petunias like the Wave series. The blooms look like petunias and the foliage looks like the calibrachoas. Most of the varieties have very strong colours like the calibrachoas.

Compact refers to the short distance between the leaf internodes, resulting in a dense display. The plants have a semi-trailing compact growth habit.
