A dazzling trailing plant that produces masses of small, bell-shaped flowers from spring through late autumn in Cape Town’s climate. Known for its vibrant colors and nonstop blooms, it’s perfect for hanging baskets, window boxes, and containers. Thrives in full sun and rewards with a carpet of cheerful blossoms.
Plant in well-drained potting soil in full sun. Water regularly, especially during hot summer days, but avoid waterlogging. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering. Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every few weeks for best results. Protect from heavy winter rains by placing containers under cover.
Million Bells are often called “mini petunias” because of their resemblance, but unlike petunias, they don’t require deadheading to keep blooming profusely.
