The mini plugs were perfect but my potting completely failed this year. This may be due to the freshness of May 2024 and too much water!

Description
Petunia Designer Cappucino is part of an innovative hybrid family, a series of highly floriferous cultivars characterised by large flowers marked with unique patterns. In 'Cappucino', the single flowers are a rare white-cream colour with beautiful coffee-coloured veins that extend into a wide throat of the same colour. The plant forms a rounded and compact mound that blooms until October in containers and hanging baskets. This easy-going annual quickly makes a big impact on the terrace or balcony, especially with pink petunias.
Hybrid petunias all originate from several plants native to the warm regions of South America. The 'Designer Cappuccino' Petunia belongs to the Solanaceae family, and is closely related to ornamental tobacco and its foliage also contains alkaloids. This variety quickly forms a dense, ball-shaped mound, about 30 cm (12in) in all directions, with a naturally neat appearance. The plant is in bloom from May to October, provided it is well-watered and regularly fed. Its funnel-shaped flowers are large with wavy edges. They are tightly packed together on dense and healthy, dark green foliage. The hairy leaves have entire edges and are vigorous and healthy.
No other flowering annual plant has undergone such intense selection by breeders over such a long period. The results are impressive and petunias rival pelargoniums in terms of splendour and duration of flowering, as demonstrated by this 'Designer Cappucino' variety. Plant it in large pots or hanging baskets for stunning results. It will create a pleasant contrast with pink or blue petunias. You can also plant it in borders of grey-leaved plants such as caryopteris, cineraria maritima, or artemisia. If you want it to stand out, plant several to create an original ground cover at the foot of plants such as Nepeta faassenii or pink annual poppies.
Note: Please be aware that plug plants are products intended for experienced gardeners. Upon receipt, transplant and store them under cover (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame...) at a temperature above 14°C for a few weeks before being planted outside once all risk of frost has passed.

Planting and care
You can plant your Designer Cappuccino petunias in the ground or in a pot. If you want to plant them in the ground, wait until the last heavy frosts have passed, they will tolerate a light late frost. In the meantime, you can grow them on in a pot in a warm and bright place to accelerate their growth. Petunias will bloom from June to October. Plant them in a sunny or semi-shaded location, sheltered from the wind. They need light and humus-rich, well-drained soil. Do not water them too much at the beginning of vegetation as they are sensitive to excess humidity. They tolerate drought well but will need regular watering during hot summer weather. They are floriferous and fast-growing, hungry plants. We recommend feeding them with liquid fertiliser once or twice a week during the growth period. Remove faded flowers and dry leaves as they appear to keep them looking good and extend the flowering period.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
