Petunia – Supertunia? Raspberry Blast

Monday, June 16th, 2008


The Petunia Supertunias? Raspberry Blast, ‘Petunia hybrids’, are brilliant in color and are very low maintenance. Supertunias are a vigorously trailing species of an ever-blooming, long-living petunia from Australia. They will provide long-term color in full sun areas throughout the season, and can grow nearly an inch a day. They are ideal for baskets, beds, balconies and combination plantings. Supertunias are very heat and drought tolerant once established in the ground or pot. They do not need to have their dead flower heads removed to continue flowering and they are not leggy. Supertunias grow fast and therefore need ample moisture and fertilizer. For zones 9-11, this plant can also be a perennial.
