Calibrachoa

Calibrachoa
Also called Superbells. Vigorous spreading annuals, reaching up to 1.2 x 3.3 ( rarely over 0.5 x 2 ) feet, that is related to Petunia but produces an abundance of much smaller flowers. Calibrachoa usually self shed their old flowers unlike Petunias. It is very useful for hanging baskets or trailing over the sides of walls and planters.
The ovate leaves are hairy and bright green.
The bell-shaped flowers, up to 1 inch wide, appear early summer until autumn frosts. The flowers attract hummingbirds. Through careful breeding, the choices of colors or color combos has increased exponentially over the past few decades.
Hardy zones 9 to 11 as a perennial ( annual in cooler climates ) in full sun to partial shade on moderately moist, fertile, well drained soil.
