Botanical name | Calibrachoa hybrid |
Flowering | Early spring to late autumn in warmer climates. |
Habit | Million Bells® plants have either a mounding or trailing habit. |
Use | Million Bells® plants are perfect for adding seasonal colour to your garden. Million Bells® with a mounding habit are perfect for hanging baskets, patio containers, window boxes and landscape use. Million Bells® with trailing habits are ideal as ground covers and also hanging baskets. |
Position | Million Bells® plants perform best when exposed to full sun conditions. |
Care | Being a perennial, Million Bells® plants will last indefinitely in your garden. However, Million Bells® are very unforgiving if soil moisture remains low for extended periods, and/or exposed to frost. When growing in pots, use a well drained, organically rich potting mix. Do not allow plants to dry out. Water adequately but not excessively if planted in the ground. For best results when growing in containers, keep plants slightly moist. Pruning or pinching is not necessary as Million Bells® plants are self-cleaning! Due to the large amount of flowers produced by Million Bells® plants, they require a regular application of fertiliser. Use a high-nitrogen fertiliser. For plants growing in containers, apply fertiliser every two weeks; for plants growing in the ground apply fertiliser monthly. |
