the nursery where I bought these did not have the species sticks (or whatever they're called) in them and i am not familiar with these, but they are certainly nice flowers. Both were in the bedding plants section.

Certified ExpertA.I would say that it is being overfertilized. They don't need too much extra food. When you do feed them, I would suggest feeding more potassium and phosphorus (Bloom mixes) and holding off on nitrogen. I would be very careful feeding anything outside of low nitrogen mixes.
Here is an article that will help you with their care:

Certified ExpertA.It may be getting a little too much water and feed. Unless you are experiencing very hot weather, they shouldn't need water every day. Here are their best care practices:

Certified ExpertA.Sometimes plants like this can drop seed, or drop pieces of itself to root elsewhere. Likely, this has happened, here, and the plant has flowered among your others.

September 8, 2022A.The different flower was actually part of the Calibrachoa it wasn't among the normal flowers.
The Felicia type flower was growing on a stem of the Calibrachoa.Was this answer useful?00 - Asked by

July 12, 2023Q.Calibrachoa Not Flowering
In your article to get my million bells to flower it states to use a fertilizer of 20-10-20. I cannot find such a fertilizer. Can you please guide me to a fertilizer. Thank you

Certified ExpertA.We don't make product recommendations, but when it comes to fertilizer, you can use something similar to what is recommended in articles. It doesn't have to be exact. You can use the same ratio as specified. If you do a search online for 20-10-20 fertilizer, several will come up. They are usually bloom booster types. If all else fails, just go with an all purpose 10-10-10.
If you've been using a product that is supposed to feed for two or three months, you may just want to add the organic fertilizer, bone meal, which promotes blooming.
