Calibrachoa 'Callie Yellow Pink' - British Grown

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.

Lightly trim back stems during midsummer if plants become leggy or flowering slows. This encourages bushier growth and fresh blooms.

The nectar-rich flowers can attract bees and pollinating insects throughout summer.

Water regularly during warmer weather, especially in baskets and containers which dry out quickly in summer. Keep compost evenly moist but avoid waterlogging.

Soil
Thrives in fertile, free-draining compost rich in organic matter. A quality peat-free basket or container compost works well.

Feed every 1–2 weeks with a high-potash liquid fertiliser throughout the growing season to encourage continuous flowering.

Sprouts Top Tips
The warm yellow and pink tones work beautifully in sunset-inspired baskets paired with orange calibrachoas, trailing bacopa, or soft silver foliage.
