I have 4 hanging baskets with Calibrachoa every year and never had any problems in previous years They get about 10 hours of sunlight. This year after repotting the bought plants, they looked good for the last 30 days here in PA. In the last 3 days all flowers in every container shriveled up and fell off. I don't see anymore buds! This is odd for a plant that is to keep blooming all summer long.

What could have gone wrong, and how do I fix it?

Since no one else has responded, I'll take a stab at it. Did the baskets dry out during that time? Some times plants will abort blooms to save itself. I would try pinching back each stem maybe about an inch, water them thoroughly and give them a little shot of a weak solution of Miracle Gro. Good luck.

Make sure there are no bugs on it. Last year I had a severe aphid infestation on my million bells and there were no flowers until I got rid of the aphids.
