I purchased what I thought were 8 purple Calibrachoa.

One turned out to be white.

The white is very vigorous,as it is three times as large as the other purple ones. It gets filtered morning/ early afternoon sun and then full sun by 3 in the afternoon.

I do fertilize it every 8 weeks. It never needs to be deadheaded. It has now been fully blooming for 11 weeks straight!

The purple ones are doing OK but they are still small. I plan to replace half of the purple ones with white for next year.
