Supertunia Mini Vista® Ultramarine
Petunia
Supertunia Mini Vistas™ - For a picture perfect hanging basket or container, try the Supertunia® Mini Vistas. They grow vigorously and are absolutely covered in cheerful blooms from spring into fall. You can even try them in your sunny landscape where they’ll put on an impressive show of color all season.
Are you a fan of Supertunia Royal Velvet? Then you’ll love this plant which mirrors its color but in a compact Supertunia Mini Vista form. A useful color addition to the series.
Supertunia Mini Vista Ultramarine makes creating patriotic-themed recipes easy when paired with Supertunia Mini Vista White and Supertunia Mini Vista Scarlet. All have durable flower petals that won’t get tattered in summer storms. Compared to Supertunia® Royal Velvet, Supertunia Mini Vista Ultramarine is the same shade of royal purple, but its blooms are smaller and plentiful, covering the attractive, densely branched canopy. Supertunia Mini Vista petunias also work well in landscapes, especially in tighter spaces such as bordering walkways, where they grow vigorously to form a colorful edging without overrunning the sidewalk.

| 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.
