More About Superbells® Doublette Love Swept

Calibrachoa ‘Superbells® Doublette Love Swept’ is one of those Calibrachoa that immediately feels intentional and refined the moment it starts flowering. Its fully double, rose-like blooms open in soft blush pink tones with subtle shading that gives each flower depth rather than flat color. The layered petals create a plush, almost camellia-like look, which adds texture and sophistication to containers and hanging baskets without feeling fussy or overdone.

As part of the Superbells® Series, ‘Love Swept’ was bred to deliver beauty and performance—two things that don’t always go hand in hand with double-flowered calibrachoa. Many doubles can look stunning early on but lose momentum as summer heat sets in. This one doesn’t. ‘Love Swept’ maintains steady bloom production from Spring through frost, all while keeping a balanced, controlled trailing habit that stays full rather than stringy. It spills gracefully over container edges, softening hard lines and bringing a polished finish to mixed plantings.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

In our trials, ‘Superbells® Doublette Love Swept’ has proven itself to be a dependable, no-nonsense performer in full-sun containers. With regular feeding, the plant stays lush and uniform, never thinning out in the center or losing its overall shape. One thing I’ve noticed year after year is how well it holds its color. That soft pink doesn’t wash out or turn dull as the season progresses, which is something I’m always watching for with pastel shades. It continues to look fresh well into late summer, when many lighter-colored plants start to fade.

The flowers are self-cleaning, so there’s no constant deadheading needed to keep containers looking tidy. That makes it a great option not just for gardeners who love to fuss, but also for customers who want something beautiful that doesn’t demand daily attention. For me, ‘Love Swept’ is one of those varieties I use when I want a container to feel finished and thoughtful. It’s soft without being weak, refined without being temperamental, and reliable enough that I’m always confident recommending it.

Doublette Love Swept’ vs. Other Calibrachoa

Superbells® Doublette Love Swept is the softest and most romantic selection among the double-flowered Superbells®, prized for its gentle color and elegant, layered blooms. Compared to Superbells® Double Amber, Love Swept immediately reads lighter and more delicate—less about depth or drama and more about charm and refinement. When placed beside single-flowered pinks like Superbells® Watermelon Punch, it trades bold contrast for grace, offering a smoother, more polished presence. Compared to Superbells® Grape Punch, which leans vibrant and energetic, Doublette Love Swept feels quieter and more sentimental, favoring softness over intensity.

When evaluated against the Cha-Cha™ Selections, Love Swept feels noticeably calmer and more composed, bringing elegance rather than high energy to container designs. Paired with Colibri® Pure White, it creates a classic, wedding-ready palette that feels timeless and airy. When combined with Calitastic® Cappuccino, Love Swept gently offsets Cappuccino’s earthy, muted tones with a subtle blush, resulting in a refined, upscale combination that feels warm, intentional, and beautifully balanced.
