Hybrid petunias are all derived from several plants native to the warm regions of South America. The 'Capella Baby Pink' Petunia belongs to the Solanaceae family, closely related to ornamental tobacco and its foliage also contains alkaloids. This variety quickly forms a compact, slightly trailing ball, reaching approximately 20 cm (8in) high and 30 cm (12in) wide. The plant flowers from May to October provided it is well-watered and regularly fed. Its funnel-shaped flowers are large and tightly packed on dense foliage. The pale pink corolla gradually fades over time, with the throat changing from pale green to cream-yellow. The hairy, dark green leaves have entire edges and are vigorous and healthy.

No other annual flowering plant has undergone such intense selection by breeders for such a long period. The results are impressive and petunias compete with geraniums in terms of splendour and length of flowering, as demonstrated by this 'Capella Baby Pink' variety. plant it in large pots or hanging baskets for a stunning display. It can also be planted in flower beds to accentuate borders of grey-foliaged plants such as ceraistes, cineraria maritima, or artemisias.
