Okay, what was the annual you were talking about that overwintered in your daughter’s container outdoors? Something like ‘caplibrokea’?
Sorry, I need to It’s Calibrachoa, a tough, durable, all summer long bloomingJspeak clearer! annual perfect for those sunny containers. Described as a ‘tiny petunias on steroids’, Calibrachoa have become the ultimate easy to grow flowering annual! Also called Million Bells, Superbells, and Mini Famous, these powerhouse annuals grow at an amazing speed filling up your containers, hanging baskets, and spilling onto the sidewalk if planted in your annual borders. And if fast growing, excellent in containers, and the fact that they’re available in a multitude of brilliant summer colors including double flowers isn’t enough, I mean look at all these great colors and how many flowers are already formed on these small plants, Calibrachoa are also sun loving, drought tolerant, and self deadheading. Put all those benefits together, and that makes Calibrachoa, or Million Bells, a true must have annual for any garden, especially those created in containers. And the fact that it overwintered in a container outdoors showed how mild the winter actually was, and how tough Calibrachoa can be!
