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.

Grown tons of the Supertunia's and love them all , at least 10 differents kinds and maybe 50 plants or so. Tried this one twice now and it has die both years in the exact same conditions all the others have been in and even tried a new pot and area, struggles and dies.

Compared to regular petunias, these are great. They keep blooming without deadheading and don't get quite as leggy and sad. However, compared to other supertunias such as Bordeaux or Paradise, these are just ok. They're not as covered in blooms, and the blooms themselves are small, so there is a lot more foliage than flowers. The foliage itself isn't as pretty as other varieties, kind of a yellowish green with very small leaves. It is definitely possible they would do better with more sun, but my neighbor has some in a sunnier spot than mine, and they look the same.

Beautiful! Just planted a month ago and growing and spreading nicely! So pretty with the pink and yellow center. Some are in full sun and some are part sun. All doing wonderfully! Will definitely plant again!!!

I planted two Daybreak Charms plants in a 14" hanging pot. They grew rapidly and are a beautiful color. Daybreak Charm is more of a mounder than a trailer. They don't cascade down very much and they do get leggy if you don't prune them to keep them bushy.

Not my favorite color but I am learning to cope. I was gifted two plants and had two winter-over from last year in zone 9b. The two old ones in the ground have no leaves, just a carpet of blooms. The two in the pot are paired with Paradise Visa and Red-coral Superbena. The Daybreak charm mounds in the pot and the rest spill over the muted turquoise ceramic pot. It's July and this plant grows and blooms as long as it is well fed. The yellow throat is not that apparent so I am thinking of pairing Whiteout Superbena with Daybreak? I'll keep trying combinations. This plant's vigor and performance is exceptional.

I love them!!! So beautiful and easy to care for. I wish I could share my picture of them.

This year was the first time I’ve purchased these, and so far they have outgrown anything I’ve ever grown before, including: Pink Star Charm Vista Bubblegum Bordeaux Black Cherry Silverberry Trailing Strawberry Pink Veined And all other vigorous proven winner plants I’ve owned If you want a vigorous petunia that just keeps growing in Minnesota and other cold, rainy and short growing seasons, (where nights can easily be wet and stay in the low to mid 30s until June) I recommend this plant. It’s already snuffing out my other “vigorous” plants in the same container. In Minnesota, my rule of thumb whatever the mature size is on the website, half it. This is my first plant that is larger than the mature size and I’ve only had it potted for 4 weeks.

I actually bought this one by mistake and I love it. I have just one growing in a pot and it is a lovely filler/spiller. Its just huge and goes well with Lemon Ball sedum, a dark coleus and small Chamaecyparis Golden Mop. Stunning.

My sister purchased this. It is so cheery; it adds a beautiful spark to the garden.
