Subpar compared to many of the other supertunia varieties. Used it in a hanging basket and container and I found it requires deadheading and it is not as vigorous. Nor does it seem to hold up as well in rain. I

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 7 of these plants and wasn’t sure how well they will do in my area? I am very pleased with the results. I planted 5 in my window box and 1in each 36 inches planters. They covered the 5’ long.window box and 36” tall planters. I also used PW fertilizer to give them little extra nutrients in the beginning. Thank you Proven Winner I will be buying these plants again.

I LOVE THIS PETUNIA!! She has been a solid performer for me since 2017 when I first discovered her in one of my favorite local greenhouses. I plant her every year. She loves sun and contrary to the info above, she very much needs deadheading. She is gorgeous and even smells great! Double petunias are my weakness and favorite, wish PW had more options as I buy other brands that have them.

I've grown this in my containers for 2 years and have loved them each time. They are very hardy and always look nice with tons of blooms. I don't need to deadhead them, but just for an excuse to hang out a little longer, I do fuss with them just a little. They have done well for me with other supertunias and verbena's
