These recently developed, half-hardy annuals were bred with hanging baskets and containers in mind. Also known as ‘Million Bells’, these mini-petunias are becoming extremely popular.

They have a trailing habit and are prolific bloomers with flower heads reaching 2.5cm(1in) across. With a range of brightly coloured shades, their leaves are compact making them a real eye-catcher in the garden. Planted outdoors they thrive in a sunny, sheltered spot. Soil needs to be moist but water and feed regularly with a slow-release fertiliser. They will reward you with masses of trumpet-like blooms for most of the summer!
