Capella™ Cherry Vanilla Petunia hybrida

Capella™ Cherry Vanilla is a named Danziger selection of annual Petunia hybrida. Danziger describes this exact selection as large-flowered, single and mounded, with early flowering and a listed garden size of 8–10 inches high by 10–14 inches wide. ## Appearance and placement Use the named Cherry Vanilla selection in containers, hanging baskets or garden beds where its spreading mound can fill space. The breeder notes that plants selected for compact quart production continue to gain size in larger pots and the garden. Flower color can vary in appearance with light and growing conditions. ## Growing conditions Illinois Extension recommends full sun and moist, well-drained soil for petunias generally. Choose a draining potting mix or prepared bed; avoid heavy, waterlogged soil. Water when the soil surface starts to dry, checking containers more often in warm weather. The guidance describes petunias broadly rather than a fixed irrigation schedule for this cultivar. ## Maintenance Pinch lightly late in the season if stems stretch; Illinois Extension notes that occasional pinching can keep petunias compact and blooming well. Monitor small containers during hot weather.
