Latin Name: Petunia × hybrida ‘Powerhouse Purple’

Petunia × hybrida ‘Powerhouse Purple’ is a vigorous, large-flowered variety prized for its intense royal purple blooms and exceptional garden performance. This F1 hybrid annual produces a profusion of 3–4 inch velvety flowers with a slight ruffled edge, maintaining rich color without fading in sun or heat.

The plant forms a robust, mounding habit (12–16 inches tall, 20–30 inches wide) with strong stems that resist weather damage. Its deep green foliage creates a striking contrast against the vibrant purple blooms, which appear nonstop from spring until frost.

‘Powerhouse Purple’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, demonstrating superior heat and drought tolerance once established. While self-cleaning, occasional deadheading can enhance blooming. It shows good resistance to common petunia diseases but may attract aphids.

A 2023 All-America Selections (AAS) winner, this cultivar sets new standards for color saturation and flowering power, making it ideal for mass plantings, containers, and landscape focal points where bold impact is desired.

Key features:

• Extra-large, fade-resistant purple blooms

• Weather-resistant mounding form

• AAS award winner

• Heat and drought tolerant

• Continuous flowering without deadheading
