Today I planted Candyland Calibrachoa. While I’m no expert at annuals everything I’ve read says, winner.
I visited Hollandia Nursery looking for one Catmint replacement but couldn’t help leaving with a few more plants. If you live near Bethel, CT Hollandia is worth the trip.
Candyland Calibrachoa is a plant combination of 3 different colors of Calibrachoa; yellow, pink and orange. I’ll let the information page explain the rest.
Calibrachoa flowers all summer without deadheading. By the time frost comes those plants will be touching the ground. I’m looking forward to seeing that!
I like the splash of color in the middle of the green landscape.

Can you name the plant in the foreground?

I was taken back when I saw this beautiful combination in a planter at a local nursery, but I wasn’t going to spring for over $30 for it so I bought the three plants there and planted it my self. Think I will do a little pruning to get it more bushy and I know they like a more acid fertilizer.
I have weak moments at nurseries. I spent my life saying someday but never can decide when someday is so I give myself permission to splurge once in a while. The good news is that the picture is at a clients property so I get to enjoy the plants without paying for them. 🙂
Do you plan to post videos to YouTube again? I really enjoyed your firewood cutting and splitting videos. Thank you. Tom
Yes, Tom, I do but I’m waiting for the motivation to return. I have some battery tools I’d like to review, a new Sawhorse for cutting wood and work to do on the woodshed hoop house.
John – Thanks for the response. Really enjoy watching your videos. Looking forward to when you begin posting again. As a lifelong wood burner and firewood cutter I can relate to lot of the things you do and they way you approach things. Regards – Tom
Glad to see you’re well, I was a little worried about you. Plants always find their way into the truck for my gardens (usually rare conifers or Japanese Maples) comes with the love of plants I guess. Is the plant in the picture an oak leaf hydrangea?
