Calibrachoas are great plants for adding to the late winter, early spring landscape. And they last through early summer. You can expect short-term performance of 4-6 months.
Known by some gardeners as “mini petunias” or “million bells,” the plant form is smaller than petunias – more compact growth with finer-, smaller-textured foliage and smaller flowers.
Calibrachoas prefer mostly sun and dry conditions and do best in containers. They come in solid and bicolored flower forms.
