Planting Instructions:

- Plant in spring after the last frost date
- Space plants 12-24 inches apart, depending on the variety

Soil Preparation:

- Ideal soil pH: 6.0-6.5
- Well-draining, fertile soil or a good potting soil

Watering Specifics:

- Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry
- Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot

Fertilizer Type:

- Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 1-2 weeks during the growing season
- Alternatively, use a slow-release fertilizer at planting and mid-season

Pruning and Training:

- Minimal pruning required; Supertunias are self-cleaning
- If plants become leggy, trim back by about one-third to rejuvenate

Additional Pest Management:

- Watch for common pests like aphids and whiteflies
- Monitor for fungal diseases in humid conditions or with overhead watering

Blooming Indicators:

- Produces an abundance of flowers in a wide range of colors
- Blooms continuously from spring through fall without deadheading

Light Requirements:

- Needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal blooming

Temperature Tolerance:

- Not frost-hardy; protect or bring indoors when temperatures drop below 40°F

BEAUTIFUL

Love this one as well it is VERY STRIKING.

From elaine | July 15, 2024

Beautiful and hardy

I use petunias for my planter on my deck. They are beautiful and drought resistant. Also last until early November in the Illinois weather. I tried them out last year and liked them so much I ordered them again. I also purchased other colors. Buying them again for the years to come.

Supertunia® Bordeaux™ Petunia Plant

The Supertunia® Bordeaux™ Petunia Plant arrived very healthy looking and protected well in sturdy packaging. It began to show beautiful blooms several days after planting.

From John | June 15, 2022

Great Experience

So excited to receive my plants, they were packaged beautifully and I can’t wait to watch them grow!

First time shopper

I was thrilled with my recent purchase, all the plants are so carefully packed for shipment and arrived in great shape. So far everything is growing and looks beautiful. I will be back next year.

Super purple flowers

The Supertunia Bordeaux arrived well-packaged with lots of healthy green foliage, and a couple blooms, and has continued to thrive since being potted up. The trumpet-shaped flowers are bigger than they appear in the photo and a bit more burgundy/purple/wine colored. I've discovered this plant likes to dry out a bit waterings, or else it will shrivel and wilt from too much water. This is a vigorous bloomer that branches and trails out of the container.

From Jessica | June 11, 2021

Arrived in fine shape

Potted it up and too soon to tell, but it is in good condition.

From John | May 14, 2021

Supertunia

I like the packing, the plants came ok, they survived. From the time I ordered and it arrived it was super fast. I was impressed with the shipping speed. I just wish the plants were a little bigger than received. But overall I think they are great! I will surely order more plants!!! They are on my favorite online nursery list!!!

Supertunia Bordeaux Petunia

I received the two Bordeaux Supertunias that I ordered and both were very healthy and good size. They are planted in hanging planters with the Royal Velvet (purple) Supertunias. Looking forward to a glorious season of blooms and color. Thank you, GrowJoy!

From Angela | April 01, 2020

Supertunias

All of my plants arrived in perfect condition and expertly packed and shipped. I am very pleased.

From LYNNE | March 25, 2020

Healthy Plant

My plant arrived packaged well and was very healthy. I was surprised at how big it was. I just got it over a week ago and it already has 6 buds on it. (I will update my review in a few weeks with pictures.) I'm extremely happy with my purchase. I highly recommend you buy from GrowJoy. The plants are a lot better quality than other online nurseries.

From Aaron | May 12, 2019

Terrific

Big and healthy when it arrived. Doing fantastic in new home.

From Allan | May 04, 2019

A Perfect Choice

I have been and still am tremendously pleased with these petunias. I had a bare spot in the front of a bed and so ordered three of these plants to fill in. They were healthy on arrival and transplanted beautifully. Since then they have grown fuller and fuller (never becoming leggy) and have bloomed continuously. There isn't much more I could ask for from a plant.

From Linda | August 13, 2018

Beautiful

Received in perfect condition, re potted many to hanging baskets and they are growing and blooming like crazy already, that's in one week.
