Million Bells
Edited on Sat Sep-13-08 01:34 AM by ailsagirl
Does anyone know about Million Bells? They're gorgeous but a bit finicky. I read they're perennials but I'm not sure if that's true. All the flowers have fallen off mine-- don't know whether to cut them back or what.

Ideas anyone?

:shrug:

P.S. They're in containers...

1. You can cut them back and fertilize and they will rebloom
I live in NE Oklahoma (zone 6b or 7) and if the winter is not too bad they will be green all winter. I have had them reseed themselves also.

2. I don't seem to have much luck with them
I've tried a few times to plant them in hanging planters, but they don't seem to do well. I prune and fertilize to no avail. I have much better luck with petunias. I tried Tidal Wave Silver this year and it looks fantastic.
