    Maintenance Notes: 

    These are heat tolerant plants, that aren't particularly fussy and need little routine maintenance. They will perform best if an application of controlled release fertilizer is included at the time of planting. This applies to both landscape and container plantings. Supertunias are heavy feeders, but a single dose is usually sufficient for landscape beds in most climates. If you have a very long season, a second application of controlled release plant food should be considered for landscape plantings. In general, containers need to be fed more than landscape plants. Supertunias in containers will need to be fed more regularly to be their absolute best. A second application of a controlled release fertilizer can be applied about every two months to container plants, which will help. However, for the very best performance I find regularly applying water soluble fertilizer starting about two months after the containers are planted gives the best results.  These extra applications of plant food really makes a difference in performance through the summer.

    If your plant begins to look open or a bit tired, an allover trim can be beneficial.  Use a sharp pair of scissors or pruning shears to trim back up to 1/3 of the volume of the plant. I pair any trim with a dose of water soluble fertilizer to provide instant energy to help kickstart new growth, branching and flowering. Your plant will take a week to recover from the trim, but the end result is a fuller plant with more blooms going forward. You may repeat the trim as needed through the season.

    • These tiny beauties are different from any other petunias I've grown. They are the perfect hanging plant. Plant them where people can see them up close. I have planted 3 terra cotta pots, one each of purple sweet potato vine, Supertunia Mini Vista Midnight, and dichondra Silver Falls. The little petunias last for many days in their dark purple velvet perfection. All 3 pots are suspended on a black wrought iron shelf on the front of my house. People that walk by can see how each plant spills over their pot. I need to buy more of these petite petunias since they are a new discovery.

    • Didn’t live up to the “Vista” name. Very flat growth habit and the color was not as vibrant as most supertunias.

    • Lots and lots of burgundy/purple flowers, but they are very small, and the growth habit is really flat. Not what you’d expect from a typical Vista variety.
