Common name: Holy Moly! Superbells

Annual

It’s easy to keep this annual looking its best. Simply provide plenty of sun, moderate water and a well-draining soil. To create a bushier plant, Proven Winners recommends trimming Superbells back when you plant them. They also recommend a balanced fertilizer to keep the plants healthy, vigorous and consistently producing new blooms. If the plant starts to look lanky or a bit spent, even if the blooms and leaves have good color, it may just be time for a healthy trim. This usually happens around July or August. No need to be too particular and snip stem-by-stem. Rather, just give it an all-over trim with clean shears. Water and feed it and give it a week to flush out to a bushy, happy plant again.
