Calibrachoa Hanging Basket

Calibrachoa Hanging Basket
Bring a cascade of color to your porch or patio with this charming classic!

About the Plant:
Often called "Million Bells" for its profusion of small, vibrant blooms, Calibrachoa has become a garden favorite around the world. Native to South America, particularly the warm regions of Brazil and Uruguay, Calibrachoa was only introduced to the horticultural world in the 1990s. Since then, it has taken off in popularity, loved for its trailing growth and brilliant, non-stop flowering.

Meaning and Symbolism:
Calibrachoa flowers symbolize joy, abundance, and gratitude. Their cheerful appearance and generous flowering habit make them a perfect gift to celebrate new beginnings, friendships, and sunny days.

Growing Conditions:
Calibrachoa thrives best in full sun (at least 6 hours of direct light daily) and well-drained soil. These baskets are ideal for porches, patios, and balconies where they can spill over the edges beautifully. In hotter climates, a little afternoon shade can help prevent stress.

Care Instructions:

• Water regularly but allow the top of the soil to dry slightly between waterings; avoid waterlogging.

• Fertilize weekly with a balanced liquid fertilizer to keep those blooms coming.

• No deadheading needed! Calibrachoa are self-cleaning, so spent flowers naturally fall away, keeping your basket fresh and lively.

• Pinch back stems occasionally to encourage even more lush growth.

Perfect Pairings:
Complement your Calibrachoa with other sun-loving companions like petunias, verbena, or sweet potato vine. Their textures and colors blend beautifully together, creating a full, vibrant display perfect for the season.
