About the Calibrachoa, Millionbells, Mini Petunias

Very attractive, lush, mini trumpet shaped flowers in a rainbow of colors, stripes, dark centers, mottling and patterns cover vigorous, low-mounding and trailing “filler/spiller” annual plants. Calibrachoa are wonderfully self-cleaning, sun loving and hummingbird ready! Less aggressive than Petunias, they combine well in hanging baskets, containers and garden beds with most other sun loving annuals. Trailing types are a bit shorter than most petunias, topping at 36″ in length. Shop our select varieties of Calibrachoa (aka Million Bells) online.


Care Notes

Grow in sunny areas, well-drained, amended soil or containers. Feed with a slow release fertilizer, Osmocote® or Plant-tone®. Follow label instructions. Repeat flowering, and often self-cleaning, but trim if leggy or stretched to maintain better blooming and a tidy habit. Mulch 2″ to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature.
