Petunias and Million Bells
Back in May, I showed you these Supertunia Bordeaux and Superbells Blue Moon Punch that I received from Proven Winners. I thought it was time to check back in and show you how they are doing. If you have not tried Calibrachoa (also called Million Bells) - you really must. They look similar to petunias, but they are smaller and so prolific. I might actually like them better than petunias, but who should ever play favorites with flowers?!
You can read more about this particular variety - Superbells Blue Moon Punch. I got the early jump start on these, they aren't available in garden centers until next year. I love them. They have bloomed nonstop since the day I planted them. They don't seem to get leggy like petunias and I never have to remove spent blossoms. Next year I am going to make sure almost of my garden pots have a few in them. They come in a variety of colors, I've grown a yellow and a coral shade before.
I only took one photo of the petunias, but you can see that they are flourishing also. This particular variety is the Supertunia Bordeaux. I wanted you to see the lovely dark purple accents. This is one of the top selling annuals of 2017 and I can see why. It's gorgeous. No matter how many new flowers I try, I will always have a couple pots of petunias on my porch!
Your purple petunias are looking so lovely! Hope you're enjoying a nice summer.

They are beautiful.
Pam, I love million bells and have two hanging baskets filled with them! Yours are beautiful! Thanks for sharing at Gardens Galore and Happy Gardening!
Very pretty indeed. We need some rain here - decent rain; not the merest whisper that makes the weeds grow.
