Superbells® Magic Pink Lemonade™ (Calibrachoa) is a captivating multi-color variety known for its "magical" ability to change hues throughout the season. The blooms transition through a delightful palette of vibrant pink, soft apricot, and pale lemon yellow, often appearing on the plant simultaneously for a sunset-inspired effect. Like all Superbells, it is bred for high performance, offering a dense, mounding-trailing habit that stays tidy without the need for constant maintenance.
Mature size: 6–12 inches in height; trails up to 12–24 inches.
Flower: Small, bell-shaped blooms featuring a gradient of pink and yellow tones; flower color can shift slightly depending on light intensity and temperature.
Foliage: Fine-textured, small, oval-shaped green leaves that provide a dense, clean backdrop for the colorful flowers.
Hardiness: Annual; perennial in USDA zones 9–11.
This variety thrives in Full Sun (6+ hours of direct light). High light levels are essential to trigger the "magic" color transitions and to maintain the tight, floriferous habit for which the series is known.
Superbells Magic Pink Lemonade requires a specific watering touch; it prefers to be kept moderately moist but never saturated. It is crucial to let the top layer of soil dry out slightly before watering again. If the soil remains constantly soggy, the plant is highly susceptible to root stress.
Superior drainage is a non-negotiable requirement. For this reason, it is almost exclusively recommended for containers, hanging baskets, and window boxes. Use a professional-grade potting medium and avoid heavy garden soils that retain too much moisture. A slightly acidic soil pH (5.5–5.8) is necessary to prevent nutrient lockout.
To support its continuous blooming, this plant is a frequent feeder. Apply a water-soluble fertilizer every 7–14 days. If the foliage begins to look light green or yellow, ensure your fertilizer contains chelated iron to help maintain the plant's health.
This plant is self-cleaning, meaning it will stay looking fresh without the need to pluck off dead flowers. If the plant looks slightly sparse in mid-summer, a light shearing (trimming back the "tails" by a few inches) will encourage it to fill back out and produce a new flush of multicolored blooms.
The shifting colors of Magic Pink Lemonade make it a versatile design element:
The "Spiller" or "Filler": It works perfectly at the edge of a container where it can mounded up and then cascade over the side.
Complementary Palettes: Pairs beautifully with soft oranges, yellows, or deep purples.
Hummingbird Attraction: The small, tubular flowers are a natural draw for hummingbirds.
Superbells Magic Pink Lemonade is an enchanting choice for gardeners who enjoy dynamic, shifting colors in their displays. With its heat tolerance and lack of need for deadheading, it provides a sophisticated, high-end look in containers with remarkably little effort—provided it has the sharp drainage it craves.
