Since 2018, Superbells Double calibrachoa varieties have won 67 awards, yet in my travels gardeners seem to rarely venture off the single-petaled path. I admit I have a flaming passion for the punch varieties like Superbells Grape Punch, Pomegranate Punch and Black Currant Punch. The last four years, however, I have gotten to try some double selections and they have all blown away any misconceptions I might have had and probably yours, too.

As I write this, I am on day 211 of hummingbirds feeding at The Garden Guy’s house. I don’t use feeders, just plants. This year has opened my eyes about their choices in plants. For instance, today which is Oct. 30, marking the longest date on the calendar that I have had them, until hopefully tomorrow and the day after The year started off fast and blooming, and then March 13, we plummeted to 21 degrees when most everything was in bloom. But things quickly rebounded and my first Ruby-throated hummingbirds showed up April 3.
