More About Calibrachoa ‘Superbells® Pomegranate Punch’

Calibrachoa ‘Superbells® Pomegranate Punch’ delivers rich, jewel-toned red blooms with subtle dark centers, creating a dramatic, wine-inspired color that stands out in containers and hanging baskets. The saturated color holds beautifully in full sun without washing out or fading.

As part of the award-winning Superbells® series, this variety was bred for strong vigor, excellent branching, and season-long flowering. ‘Pomegranate Punch’ maintains dense bloom coverage from early spring through frost, even during peak summer heat.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

In our trials, ‘Superbells® Pomegranate Punch’ has been a consistent top performer in full-sun containers. It establishes quickly, trails evenly, and continues flowering heavily with regular feeding throughout the season.

We especially like its design versatility. The deep red tones pair beautifully with whites, pinks, purples, silvers, and chartreuse foliage, making it a strong anchor plant in mixed containers. Flowers are self-cleaning, keeping maintenance minimal.

Pomegranate Punch vs. Other Calibrachoa Varieties

Superbells® Pomegranate Punch occupies a unique space within the Superbells® Series, blending rich red tones with magenta undertones for a color that feels both deep and vibrant. Compared to Superbells® Watermelon Punch, Pomegranate Punch reads darker and more saturated, trading Watermelon’s playful contrast for a fuller, more luxurious color presence. When set beside Blackcurrant Punch, it introduces warmth and energy, softening the cooler, moodier purple tones with a red-infused glow. Compared to Superbells® Coral Sun, Pomegranate Punch feels more dramatic and intense, leaning away from lighthearted warmth and toward bold visual impact.

Beyond the Superbells® family, Pomegranate Punch continues to stand out through complexity and richness. Compared to the Cha-Cha™ Series, it feels more nuanced and saturated, offering layered color rather than a straightforward red statement. Cabaret® Selections tend to read tighter and more refined, emphasizing control and polish, while Pomegranate Punch delivers a stronger sense of seasonal abundance and visibility. When paired with Calitastic® Cappuccino, it adds depth and richness without overwhelming Cappuccino’s muted, earthy tones. Combined with Colibri® Pure White, Pomegranate Punch becomes striking and formal, creating a high-contrast palette that feels bold, intentional, and visually commanding.
