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.

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.

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.
