too much rain for million bells?

I have my million bells in a very well draining hanging basket. They were looking fantastic all spring and summer until a period of constant, heavy rain last week. Now, the leaves still look healthy but every single flower rotted. It went from a gorgeous plant full of blooms to one with not a single flower left on it. Is there any hope left for this to rebloom or I should I just toss it and buy a fall plant?

I'd suggest that you give your plant a bit of a haircut in order to remove the dead flowers, fertilize it if you havent done so in awhile and give it a few days to recover. Calibrachoa responds very well and very quickly to being cut back. Since these plants last well into the fall, it seems a shame to toss them unless you're simply tired of them.

I did recently fertilize it, but I'll go ahead and cut it back and hopefully that helps! Thanks!
