More About Calibrachoa ‘Superbells® Tangerine Punch’

Calibrachoa ‘Superbells® Tangerine Punch’ delivers vivid, sun-drenched orange blooms that bring instant warmth and energy to containers and hanging baskets. The saturated tangerine color remains bold and vibrant even in intense summer sun, making it a standout choice for hot, sunny locations.

As part of the award-winning Superbells® series, this variety was bred for vigorous growth, excellent branching, and season-long flowering. ‘Tangerine Punch’ maintains dense bloom coverage from early spring through frost without thinning out or losing color.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

In our trials, ‘Superbells® Tangerine Punch’ has been an exceptionally dependable performer in full-sun containers. It establishes quickly, trails evenly, and continues flowering heavily through heat and humidity with consistent feeding.

We especially like its design versatility. The bright orange blooms pair beautifully with blues, purples, whites, and chartreuse foliage, creating high-contrast container combinations that pop. Flowers are self-cleaning, keeping maintenance minimal all season long.

Tangerine Punch’ vs. Other Calibrachoa Varieties

Superbells® Tangerine Punch is the boldest and most saturated orange in the Superbells® lineup, delivering unmistakable citrus energy from a distance. Compared to Superbells® Coral Sun, Tangerine Punch reads brighter and more orange-forward, while Coral Sun stays softer and more blended. When set beside Superbells® Lemon Slice, Tangerine Punch feels warmer and less graphic, trading sharp pattern for solid, high-impact color. Compared to Superbells® Watermelon Punch, it leans more summery and energetic, with less sweetness and a stronger sun-washed presence.

Beyond the Superbells® family, Tangerine Punch continues to separate itself through vigor and fullness. Compared to the Cha-Cha™ Series, it delivers a larger flower presence and a more robust habit, filling containers faster and with greater visual weight. Cabaret® Selections tend to emphasize control and refinement, while Tangerine Punch embraces abundance and seasonal exuberance. When paired with Calitastic® Cappuccino, it injects energy and warmth without overpowering Cappuccino’s muted, earthy tones. Set next to Colibri® Pure White, Tangerine Punch reaches maximum brightness and contrast, creating a bold, high-impact combination that feels vibrant, confident, and unmistakably summery.
