Notes
Million bells (Calibrachoa × hybrida) is an annual for borders and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms. It stays about 12 inches tall and spreads 12 to 24 inches, so it spills nicely over the edge of a pot.
Pairs well with Teddy Bear sunflower, Lemongrass, and Garden mum.
