I received a shipment of around 9 plants in June this year. Only a few survived. These were some of the ones that came infected with some disease that was unknown to me. The plants were dead. And it was too late for a refund or replacement.

Features
Supertunia Vista Silverberry petunias are very vigorous, with mounding habits that can reach up to 2 feet in height in the landscape and will trail over the edges of baskets and containers up to 4 feet by the end of the season. They are fantastic landscape plants and are great in large containers, where they function as both fillers and spillers. In garden beds, they will work either in the front or middle of the bed. They have medium-sized flowers.

Maintenance Notes:Supertunia® petunia plants are easy to grow and will flower non-stop from planting to hard frost if simple maintenance tasks are performed. Growing Supertunias in full sun to part sun is important for their strong growth and bloom performance. They do not require deadheading, meaning the removal of spent flowers, to stay in bloom all season.
Petunias thrive with consistent moisture. Do not let them wilt severely before watering again.
Supertunia petunias perform best when fed regularly with Proven Winners plant foods. At planting time, in containers and landscapes, mix Proven Winners Premium Continuous Release Plant Food into the soil, following the rates specified on the packaging. Reapply halfway through the growing season.
Additionally, Supertunias should be fed regularly with Proven Winners Premium Water Soluble Plant Food according to the rates specified on the packaging. For Supertunias growing in containers, feed every third time you water or at least once per week. For Supertunias growing in the ground, feed once every one to two weeks.
If you have been feeding your petunias regularly and they are getting enough sun and water but are not blooming, you may be dealing with petunia budworm. Learn more about this petunia pest.
By midsummer, it will be time to trim up your Supertunias. Trim the longest stems, bringing them in line with the others, taking care not to remove more than 20% of the plant. Trimming petunias in the landscape is not usually necessary but cutting them back by 20% can make the plants fuller. Follow up by feeding them with water soluble plant food to promote fresh new growth and blooms.
Supertunia Vista -The best petunia for landscapes. Hands down. Supertunia® Vista varieties deliver an outstanding performance over the entire season, lasting an extra month in southern states and well into fall in moderate climates. They are bred to flower earlier, grow taller and wider, and grow more vigorously than other Supertunia®.

Absolutely beautiful. The light/dark pink color marries beautifully with other plants. Came very healthy. Love the eco pots. I don’t plant in them — but they are compostable! Love it.

For those of you in mild climates (zone 10 CA here) wondering what these are like as a perennial— they are insane. I have two of these, each forming a solid wall of blooms 2 feet high and 4-5 feet across starting in early spring this year (second growing season in the ground), and anyone who sees them in my garden wants to plant them in their own. I have been amazed at their will to grow and bloom. Some bugs tried to eat them and I tried to size control them with dramatic prunings, but they came back bigger and bloomier each time. Mine did lull out of blooms around January, but they held their foliage and stayed attractive through our mild winter (it never got below freezing). I imagine any supertunia in the vista series would perform similarly in a mild climate.

This plant is awesome. I love its ultra light pink colored blooms with the pink and purple veins in the throat. They are very prolific, although they do not seem to be able to perform to the level of the Bubblegum Vista. The are still able perform in the same container as the Bubblegum and make a beautiful combination in conjunction with Vista Fuschia. PW Supertunias last much later in the season than normal petunias; I actually have pictures of my Silverberry petunias with a layer of snow on them. They are still alive following several frosts and that snow fall. They are a tough, prolific, and beautiful flower. I highly recommend growing this beautiful flower.

I planted one Silverberry plant in each of two hanging pots. The grew rapidly and soon were tumbling down the sides of the pots. They were full of blooms. Each plant grew almost three feet across and made a beautiful display. I was so pleased with them. The only drawback to these plants is that they don't tolerate the cooler fall weather as well as other supertunia varieties I have. Once we got into September the blooms got smaller and less numerous, and the plants don't look as happy.

This is the first year I've grown this plant, but it won't be the last! I saw it early in the season on a private garden tour and then purchased several for my own garden. Two plants planted in one 3 foot window box filled in within weeks and provided a huge display that is still blooming into November after several hard frosts. It was also useful in large and small pots on my porch and terrace. I love white flowers because they are a rest to the eyes and appear cool in the heat of summer. Silverberry also provides just that little touch of pink that is very pleasing and which blends with almost anything. This plant has been in constant bloom since early May (6 months), is pretty both at close inspection and from a distance, needs no grooming at all and it grows to be a lovely spreading plant with no effort on my part. I will absolutely search it out next year and use more of it.

Beautiful plant but be forewarned this plant is a very aggressive grower and will overpower any other plant you have in your container. Grow it by itself and you will not be disappointed.
