And yes, very easy! I only water when the blossoms start to droop.. I've never had any problems with pests or diseases. They're gorgeous while my cool wave pansies are covered in powdery mildew.
I threw away the tag. All I know is that it's a perennial. I had an orange calibrachoa that was perfect because it picked up the orange from the coop but some animal smashed it. So I had to settle for this one. I'm not crazy about it. the flowers are too dainty and aren't noticeable from a distance. It will be there only for this season.
I went back to the nursery that I bought it from but they didn't have the orange. Maybe I should have gone to another one.

Does she live out of the area? Is that why she's opened for so few days?Here you go Mary, I just bought several orange ones, I'll give you a couple...I wish
There's a little nursery in town that sells mostly annuals and she has some amazing variety. That's where I get orange mint every year, and most of the plants for containers. She's only open for 70 days though and her stuff goes fast! If you wait too long you're just out of luck.
I got there the first week she opened and bought most of the annuals I'll need this year, and because it's too early to put them in I have them on a pallet on the patio.
I made a little hoopy with re-wire and covered that with plastic. At night the plants get tucked in with a frost blanket. So far so good.
