I planted 6 of these on each side of my sidewalk in 2021. They ended up filling in nicely to each other. They were in full sun. No fertilizer. Beautiful!!! They bloomed from May through October. Love them! Will definitely buy again if I can find them!

Deep purple flowers with a black eye, cover this mounding trailing calibrachoa plant. Superbells are best grown in containers where soil moisture can be more easily controlled, since they don't tolerate constantly wet soils well.

They will do well in the ground only with good drainage. For most gardeners containers are the best use for Calibrachoa.
Maintenance Notes:Superbells® calibrachoa plants are easy to grow and will flower non-stop from planting to hard frost if simple maintenance tasks are performed. Growing Superbells in full sun to part sun is important for their strong growth and bloom performance. They do not require deadheading, meaning the removal of spent flowers, to stay in bloom all season.
Calibrachoa’s roots are sensitive to wet soil and extreme soil pH levels. For these reasons, they grow best in containers with a well-drained potting mix such as Proven Winners Premium Potting Soil. If your garden soil is well-drained and slightly acidic, you may be able to grow calibrachoa in the ground.
Superbells calibrachoa thrive with average moisture and prefer the soil to dry out a little bit before they are watered again. They do not grow well and may develop root rot in soggy soil. However, do not let the plants wilt severely before watering again.
Superbells perform best when fed regularly with Proven Winners plant foods. At planting time, in containers and landscapes, mix Proven Winners Premium Continuous Release Plant Food into the soil, following the rates specified on the packaging. Reapply halfway through the growing season.
Additionally, Superbells should be fed with Proven Winners Premium Water Soluble Plant Food every third time you water or at least once per week according to the rates specified on the packaging.
By midsummer, it will be time to trim up your Superbells. Trim the longest stems, bringing them in line with the others, taking care not to remove more than 20% of the plant. Follow up by feeding them with water soluble plant food to promote fresh new growth and blooms.

These are so beautiful! Planted them a bit early in a large 14" container with other Superbells and Sweet Potato Vine. It's been 1.5 months and they have filled out and spilled over lusciously with lots of blooms. I'll definitely get these again next year!!

This plant is a wonderful variety of Superbells! It starts out as a small plant and after a month or two, the plant is trailing over the edge of the container beautifully! I found Superbells Grape Punch to pair wonderfully with Superbells Holy Moly!. I would for sure recommend this plant to any beginner gardener!

Great flowers that can be neglected for a bit and bounce back with the help of a little water. Flowers bloomed from late May until November.

I bought this plant at my local nursery last spring (2018). It was beautiful throughout the spring, summer, and early fall. In Texas our summers get very hot, so I moved it into a partially shaded area in the hottest part of the summer. It was worth the extra money I paid for the Proven Winners label because other varieties did not survive our heat! At the end of the season, I just left it in my container. While most of my annuals usually die out in the winter, I am startled to see this plant covered in glorious blooms this spring (2019)!

Bloomed from June to November in my Zone 5 garden. Continuous bloom, flowers were quite large for a million bells, beautiful dark bluish-purple color, very hardy. Absolutely loved it!

My daughter bought this plant for me to add some color to a bare area in front of my home. So, I guess I can't truly say that I grew it from the start. It was full of the beautiful purple blooms and got even fuller as the days and months went by. The heat did not seem to bother it too much. I am not very good about watering plants on a daily or sometimes weekly basis even. This plant was determined to add beauty to my home in spite of me. Here it is, Dec. 29th, 2016 and although it survived several hard frosts and a freeze (8 deg.) it has just in the past 2 days given up the ghost, as they say. I am ready to look for another one as soon as they become available so I can enjoy it even longer. I don't believe anyone will be disappointed with this beautiful plant. It really mounds up fast and needs to be in a size of pot that will really allow it to spread.
