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.

I bought 2 of these in the spring at a local nursery and they have bloomed continuously all season. Even though it has been in the 100’s many days and these sit in full sun they show no signs of the intense heat. You can barely see the green leaves through the flowers. I will definitely buy again and more colors next year.

This is an excellent variety. I highly recommend getting this plant if you get the chance. It is beautiful and churns out load after load of gorgeous bicolored blooms. The pink and white practically glow and grab one's attention. This variety pairs beautifully with the MiniVista Hot Pink variety. Easily fills an average size container. This one gets a five star without hesitation.

I absolutely LOVED this plant! It provided blooms from March to November last year. It’s my favorite supertunia so far!

Amazing flowers. Grew them outdoors in Seattle (zone 8b). Some of the plants survived 38F and continue to grow.

This petunia is almost too pretty! I planted 3 in. 20" pot along with 3 Raspberry Blast petunias, and I could have used only 2 each. They bloomed all summer and everyone commented on how beautiful my container was.
