Calibrachoa is one of
our favorites for
hanging pots and
windowboxes because
it blooms heavily all
summer and loves the
sun. The double
blooms of the new Mini
Famous series are real
scene-stealers. Besides
‘Double Yellow’,
shown,
it’s available in blue and
three shades of pink.

check out the load of benefits you’ll enjoy as a member of the
new BHG Garden Club, and watch for the Spring Awakening
Sweepstakes and the chance to win a Toyota Prius.
When you plant new trees and shrubs this
spring, be sure to remove every bit of string,
twine, wire, and any plant tags. As plants grow,
these materials can cause serious harm by
cutting into trunks and branches.
