Plant & Care

Plant in well-drained potting soil in full sun to semi-shade. Water regularly, especially during Cape Town’s dry summer months, but avoid waterlogging. Feed with a liquid fertiliser every 2–3 weeks to encourage continuous blooms. Deadheading is not necessary, as plants self-clean. Protect from heavy winter rains by placing containers under cover.

Did You Know?

Calibrachoa is often called “mini petunia” because of its similar trumpet-shaped flowers, but unlike petunias, Million Bells are self-cleaning—meaning no tedious deadheading is required for months of colour!
