Splash Dance™ Purple Polka Petunia hybrida

Splash Dance® Purple Polka is a petunia selected for a distinctive speckled pattern and early flowering. Danziger describes large, single blooms on a mounded plant, with a garden range of 10–12 inches high and 18–24 inches wide. ## Garden use The breeder lists this selection for pots, hanging baskets, ground cover, and landscape plantings. Its spread can fill the edge of a container or contribute a low, broad flowering layer in an annual display. Danziger says the pattern has been tested to hold through heat; this describes the flower pattern, not a claim of universal heat tolerance. Visit the [exact Danziger selection page](https://www.danzigeronline.com/catalog/annuals/splash-dance-purple-polka/) for its distinguishing name and current variety details. ## Growing conditions Petunias perform best in full sun and moist, well-drained soil. Illinois Extension notes that flowering can be reduced in very heavy soils. The Danziger page describes Splash Dance as early flowering but does not define a universal calendar season, so use local planting conditions and frost dates to time an annual display. [Illinois Extension petunia care](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/petunia) provides broader species-level guidance. ## Maintenance Keep the root zone evenly moist while allowing excess water to drain. Check container soil more often during hot or windy weather. Illinois Extension recommends occasional late-season pinching to keep petunias compact and blooming well; remove only enough growth to maintain the intended shape.
