Million bells (Calibrachoa)
Family: Solanaceae
Calibrachoa is a smaller-flowered relative of Petunia that is widely grown as an annual bedding plant. With trailing stems, it is also popular for hanging baskets or for cascading down the sides of mixed annual planters. Calibrachoa can overwinter outdoors in the subtropics and tropics, but it is usually short-lived. Many cultivars are available with a rainbow of different flower colors.
