I didn’t expect much, but I watered this plant every day and it has grown to fill the entire container. Lovely blooms this whole summer. Great pick for a new gardener.

They will do well in the ground only with good drainage. For most gardeners containers are the best use for Superbells Holy Moly 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.

Holly Molly might well become my favorite Superbells. So far this season with our variances in temperature it's doing very well. It's such a cheerful looking flower. I planted it with the new Velveteen coleus and petunias and it makes for a very pretty combination. I also bought one of the new "pillows" of the Holly Molly and it too is thriving.

I was so happy to find this in a couple of my local stores - Home Depot and Shopko - as I was looking for it after seeing it in a brochure. It is so neat looking and I really hope it does well with the other million bells I planted with it (one is lemon slice). Great looking flower!!

Love my Holy Moley. It is such a happy looking plant. I paired it with pink and yellow flowers. Can't wait until they all fill out in the basket!
