We’re planting … Calibrachoa<br />
‘Midnight Kiss’ for its vivid trumpet-shaped blooms that live up to its<br />
name: Glowing deep purple diffusing into a dark centre overlaid by<br />
a bright yellow star. This neat, round plant grows 25 to 30cm high<br />
and wide and looks gorgeous in hanging baskets and containers as<br />
well as a garden groundcover. Plants are self-cleaning so they stay<br />
neat and tidy. Plenty of morning sun and some afternoon shade is<br />
recommended. Plant in fertile well-composted soil that drains well, yet<br />
remains moist. Feed once a month. The flowers attract nectar-seeking<br />
birds, bees and butterflies. Details: ballstraathof.co.za<br />
