A Veil of Velvet with Violet Hues

The Calibrachoa ‘Calitastic Violaceous’ displays an abundant and continuous bloom of small, almost velvety, intense violet bell-shaped flowers, subtly nuanced with midnight blue reflections. This deep, almost mystical shade brings a natural and modern elegance to all summer floral arrangements.

As part of the Calitastic series, this variety is known for its exceptional vigor, its impeccable habit in hanging baskets, and its remarkable resistance to summer conditions (heat, rain, wind). Its semi-trailing habit makes it a star for planters, hanging baskets, and flower boxes.
