More About Calibrachoa ‘Cabaret® Good Night Kiss’

Calibrachoa ‘Cabaret® Good Night Kiss’ is a striking, color-rich Million Bells variety known for its deep purple flowers accented with vibrant magenta tones. The blooms are produced in abundance, creating a dramatic, jewel-toned display that holds its intensity even in strong sun and summer heat.

As part of the Cabaret® series, this variety was bred for improved branching, dense flower coverage, and consistent performance throughout the season. Unlike some darker calibrachoa that can thin out or fade, ‘Good Night Kiss’ maintains a full, lush habit from early spring through frost.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

In our trials, ‘Cabaret® Good Night Kiss’ has been an excellent performer in full-sun containers and hanging baskets. It establishes quickly, trails evenly, and continues blooming heavily with minimal maintenance when provided regular feeding.

We especially like its design impact. The dark, saturated color pairs beautifully with whites, chartreuse foliage, and bright accent colors, making it a standout choice for bold container combinations. Flowers are self-cleaning, so there’s no need for deadheading to keep the plant looking fresh.

Calibrachoa ‘Cabaret® Good Night Kiss’ vs. Other Calibrachoa

Compared to lighter calibrachoa varieties, ‘Good Night Kiss’ delivers a much richer, more dramatic color presence. While pastel selections brighten containers, this variety adds depth and contrast.

When compared to standard petunias, calibrachoa offers smaller flowers but far heavier bloom density and better heat performance. For gardeners looking for a dark, dramatic trailing bloomer with season-long reliability, Calibrachoa ‘Cabaret® Good Night Kiss’ is an outstanding choice.
