Capella™ Purple Petunia hybrida

Capella™ Purple is a Petunia hybrida selection in Danziger’s CAPELLA™ Series. Danziger describes it as early flowering, mounded, and single-flowered, with large blooms. The listed mature dimensions are 8–10 inches high by 10–14 inches wide, and the series is suitable for pots, hanging baskets, ground-cover planting, and landscapes. ## Placement and light Choose a sunny site receiving at least six hours of direct sun. Extension guidance recommends moderately fertile, moist, well-drained soil; petunias tend to flower poorly in heavy soils, while wet poorly drained sites can cause root or crown rot. Danziger notes that CAPELLA selections are controlled for small-pot production but continue to gain size in a larger pot or garden bed. Read [Danziger’s CAPELLA information](https://www.danzigeronline.com/catalog/annuals/capella-purple/) for the selection and its dimensions, with general siting guidance from [Illinois Extension](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/petunia) and [Iowa State University Extension](https://yardandgarden.extension.iastate.edu/faq/what-would-be-good-planting-site-petunias). ## Maintenance Occasional late-season pinching can help keep petunias compact and blooming well. Maintain moisture while allowing excess water to drain freely.
