Watch this video with Noelle, Horticulturist, and Education Manager with Petitti Garden Centers, to learn the similarities and differences between Petunias and Calibrachoas, and how to grow each of them.

Your videos are such a big help Noelle. I have a master gardener certificate for southern landscaping, but now that we’ve relocated back to Ohio after many years, I find I have a lot to learn about shrubs and flowers! I’m a passionate gardener, so all set to make my fourth trip to Petittis Oakwood. You have certainly expanded since the 90’s! My only complaint is that our growing season is so short, but it’s certainly easier for me to garden here than in the Florida heat and humidity!

Love your videos that give so very much information about specific plants. I host a gardening group and highly recommend your videos there.❤️❤️

Hi there Noelle: I found your video to be interesting and very informative, Yes, calibrachos are one of my favorites and have a plant outside on the porch. It had stopped blooming but as you had mentioned keep them in a sunny location, watered, fertilized & give them a haircut. I noticed just yesterday that they are starting to blossom at the bottom again so might see more blooms next time they are watered! Didn't know about the new variety PETCHOA which is pretty. Thanks again, and have a great weekend!❤

Your video on petunias is the best explanation of the different cultivars that I have heard. Now I really understand the differences among them. Thank you for your excellent explanations.

I accidentally planted super cal in the ground last year and i have no clue how they performed so well. The PH, soil quality, and watering should have KOed them but they did amazing.

This is the very best video I've seen on Proven Winner Petunias. You gave us a lot of very useful information, and I learned more than I thought I would. Thank you.

I love your videos. I LOVE my petunias! Thank you for this great info! I learned that when pinching we have to get the whole stem and not just the dead blossom. Just another thought. Thank you for ALL of your videos!!🪴🌺🌸

Ahh thank you!! Now I know what I did wrong with the black currant punch calibrichoa. I planted in ground and she gone. I’m sad . So beautiful!! Also these are my favorite annuals and learning more from you is very much appreciated!!!

I really appreciated this detailed video. Thank you. I wish you would have included a discussion around pest ci tell. I typically get aphids or caterpillars and don’t know how to combat effectively.
