Calibrachoa – Nature’s Little Trumpet Often called “Million Bells,” the Calibrachoa is a darling of the garden world—an abundance of small, petunia-like blooms spilling gracefully over pots and hanging baskets like confetti after a garden party. Originally native to South America, this cheerful trailing plant found its way into American cottage gardens in the 19th century and has been winning hearts ever since. At Wright’s Market, Calibrachoa reminds us of front porch railings draped in color, Sunday afternoons on a swing, and the simple joy of flowers that just won’t quit blooming. Where It Grows BestCalibrachoa thrives in full sun, soaking up those bright Southern rays while bringing nonstop blooms from spring through the first frost. It’s perfect for hanging baskets, window boxes, or tucked into the edge of a container garden where it can gently cascade over the sides. Care Instructions Light: Full sun (6+ hours daily for best blooms) Water: Likes to stay moist but not soggy—water regularly, especially in containers Temperature: Heat-tolerant and summer-loving Soil: Well-draining, slightly acidic soil with good organic matter Bonus Tip: Though it’s self-cleaning (no deadheading needed), a gentle trim mid-season can encourage even more blooms. With its generous blossoms and easygoing nature, the 12" Calibrachoa is a faithful companion through the growing season—bright, cheerful, and always ready to make your porch or patio feel like home.
