Million Bells (Calibrachoa) is a perennial herbaceous plant with persistent roots, one of the small-flowered petunia varieties, and is also known as "dancing spring flower." In summer, Million Bells can be grown outdoors in most regions of China.

Morphological Characteristics of Million Bells

The Million Bells plant is covered with dense fine hairs, and the leaves are obovate-lanceolate or narrowly elliptical.

It has semi-lignified flower stems, and compared with general Solanaceae plants, Million Bells is more resistant to rain.

The flower corolla is funnel-shaped, and the petals are very small, but the number of flowers is astonishing; when in full bloom, they look like a cascading waterfall. The name "Million Bells" comes from the fact that each tiny flower closely resembles a beautiful little bell. Compared with ordinary dwarf petunias, its flowers and leaves are both smaller, but the flowering period of a single flower is longer; each flower blooms for about one week, and the flowers cover the branches like a waterfall. The tiny flowers are very lovely. Because the flowers resemble bells and are numerous, people affectionately call it "Million Bells." Similar to petunia, the flowers are slightly smaller, but more numerous, denser, and longer-lasting, making it more popular. Those who own "Million Bells" call themselves "millionaires." If you own 10 pots of "Million Bells," then you are a "ten-millionaire," someone whom everyone envies, is jealous of, or even wants to "rob."

Million Bells Growing Habits

Although Million Bells has a relatively long flowering period, its ability to adapt to the environment is average, and careful maintenance is needed for it to possibly bloom in all four seasons.

The Flower Language of Million Bells

The flower language of Million Bells is similar to that of petunia, carrying the beautiful meaning of "being with you."
