Almost two hundred years ago, Calibrachoa was introduced to European greenhouses from South America along with the petunia, to which it is closely related.
However, because of its small flowers, Calibrachoa was long neglected by plant breeders in favor of the petunia with its larger blooms.
In addition, Calibrachoa’s propagation was difficult since it produced few seeds, although that problem has now been solved thanks to the Japanese and their commercial utilization of new propagation techniques.

I first discovered calibrachoa in the spring of 2001 and in the short time since then plant breeders have developed a whole range of colors to choose from — pink, peach, purple, white or plum to name a few.
The plant produces an abundance of miniature petunia shaped blooms, but unlike the petunia calibrachoa won’t get leggy, turn to wet tissue paper after a hard rain or melt in the heat and humidity of summer.
I have noticed that calibrachoa is especially suited for containers because it prefers soil a little on the dry side and doesn’t need much fertilizer to bloom continuously.

With the increasing movement of propagative plant material, it has become important for growers to be aware of potential pathogens that may be associated with propagative plant material.
Technical Abstract: Calibrachoa (Calibrachoa x hybrida) is a relatively new herbaceous annual crop introduced in 1998 by the greenhouse industry.
Because Calibrachoa is such a new crop, little is known about its susceptibility to various pathogens but since it is closely related to petunia, speculation would implicate a number of potential diseases.
