This cheerful trailing plant produces masses of small trumpet-shaped blooms in warm yellow tones blended with soft pink centres, creating a bright and playful summer display. Calibrachoa ‘Callie Yellow Pink’ is ideal for hanging baskets, patio pots, and window boxes, where its trailing stems spill naturally over the edges in a cascade of colour. Flowering continuously from late spring until the first frosts, it provides reliable colour and impressive flowering with very little maintenance.
Calibrachoa ‘Callie Yellow Pink’, commonly known as Million Bells, is loved for its long flowering season and compact trailing habit. The blend of buttery yellow and rosy pink tones gives baskets and containers a softer, sunset-inspired feel that pairs beautifully with purples, whites, and fresh green foliage. Its self-cleaning blooms help keep displays looking tidy and full throughout the season without constant deadheading.
