Calibrachoas, also known as Million Bells, are a popular flowering plant that belongs to the Solanaceae family. These plants are native to South America and are widely cultivated for their beautiful, trumpet-shaped flowers that come in a wide range of colors, including pink, purple, yellow, red, and white.
Calibrachoas are low-growing plants that typically reach a height of 6-12 inches and spread up to 24 inches. They have a trailing habit and are often used in hanging baskets, window boxes, and as ground covers.
The foliage of Calibrachoas is small and green, and the flowers are produced in abundance throughout the growing season.
One of the main advantages of Calibrachoas is their ability to bloom continuously throughout the summer and fall. They are also relatively easy to care for and require minimal maintenance.
Calibrachoas prefer full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. They are drought-tolerant and do not require frequent watering.
Calibrachoas are also resistant to many common pests and diseases, making them a great choice for gardeners who want a low-maintenance plant. However, they are susceptible to root rot if the soil is too wet, so it is important to ensure that the soil is well-drained.
