Habit:
Low-growing, vigorous trailing. Height: 2-6 inches. Length: 24 inches. Spread: up to 48 inches.

When working with Million Bells® calibrachoas, start them warm in a well-drained soil mix, then finish cool after they are well established. The key is to keep the pH down to help prevent Thielaviopsis root rot, which is less persistent in media with a lower pH. We can use an acid feed with added iron, based on a soil test to accomplish this. Calibrachoas respond well to added iron.

We’ve found an aggressive, preventative fungicide drench to be worthwhile in establishing this crop and maintaining it. As the plants are established, plant growth regulator treatments of Florel or B-Nine are used. We pinch as needed to shape. Bonzi drench treatments are used later in the season and we like to use multiple lower-dose applications. For combination plantings, I love the trailing Million Bells® Blue ’09 with Yellow and Magenta is an outstanding one.
