Does anyone know of these plants, first is a Bracteantha Strawburst Visual White Rose "Helisbrabic" it looks like a Cone flower but only grows to 45cm, and second Calibrachoa Callie Orange, this grows to 25cm. I bought 2 of each and cant seem to find anything about them on the net or in the flower bible. Not sure if they are Annuals or what?

Found this on Calibrachoa Callie Carolann - the colour after this name just relates to the flower colour - there are lots and lots of different colours - yours looks gorgeous. This Callie™ series features a well-branched plant habit that makes them ideal for 4" pots, hanging baskets and everything in between. With 3 new colors, we now offer a total of 14 exciting vibrant colors. Plants will spread up to 20". Callies can take full sun or partial shade. It came from this web site www.glasscorner.comI think the plant's other name is Million Bells. |

Thank you ladies much appreciated. Jas when I saw the flowers I thought it was the million bells but the name threw me off. I have put both plants into the rock bed so that they can drape over the stones, Tig the strawflower I hope it dont grow that high as it will look very odd in window box. ;D
Thanks once again ladies for all your help.
