SuperCal® Premium Purple Dawn Petchoa (Petunia x Calibrachoa hybrid 'SAKPXC030') adds a spectacular splash of intense purple to your garden from late spring until the first frost. The oversized flowers demonstrate both the size and form of petunias, combined with the crisp color and nonsticky foliage of calibrachoas. Each plant maintains a strong, mounded habit that rebounds quickly from hot spells or downpours. In our experience, the self-cleaning nature of this hybrid spares you time and promotes a long season of color.

SuperCal® Premium Purple Dawn Petchoa offers reliable performance in everything from hanging baskets to border plantings, thanks to its tolerance for heat, wind, and short bouts of colder weather. Hummingbirds are often attracted to the bold blooms, making it a wildlife-friendly choice for any outdoor space. It works well for mass plantings or container arrangements, as it suits a wide range of landscaping styles and pairs easily with other annuals and perennials.

SuperCal® Premium Purple Dawn Petchoa Care

Set out plants once temperatures rise consistently above 50 degrees Fahrenheit, choosing a spot with full to partial sun and well-draining soil. Regular watering keeps Petchoas from wilting, though overwatering can cause root damage. A balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every month helps maintain robust foliage and generous bloom output. Pinching back any overly long stems can keep the plant neat and direct energy into new bud formation.

Remove faded tips if the plant looks tired halfway through summer, encouraging fresh growth and renewed flowering. If grown in containers, watch soil moisture closely, as pots dry faster than ground plantings. Overwintering is rarely practiced since Petchoa is commonly treated as an annual in most zones, but a sheltered spot may extend its bloom time in milder regions. Even without special care, this hybrid reliably retains its beauty from planting to frost.

SuperCal® Premium Purple Dawn Petchoa Spacing

Place plants 14 to 22 inches apart in borders or rows to give their trailing habit enough room to expand. A container 12 inches or wider ensures that the roots can develop comfortably and the foliage can cascade attractively over the edges.
