The pink to dark purple ombre flowers of Petunia Supertunia Bordeaux (Petunia hybrid) will make this plant your all-time favorite petunia. It will provide spectacular color in your garden from spring through fall in part to full sun growing conditions. The veins in the petals are dark purple. This petunia will grow to between 6 and 12 inches in height with an 18 to 24-inch spread. It grows in a slightly mounded growing habit.
This plant has received numerous awards, including top performer and consumer choice. This short plant can be grown in the front of your garden beds, in mass plantings, and as a container plant in flower boxes, hanging baskets, or pots. The flowers will trail over the sides of the container up to 30 inches in length. The flowers will attract butterflies and hummingbirds. It’s also heat and drought tolerant.
Supertunia Bordeaux Petunia Care
If you’re growing this plant in a container, allow the soil surface to dry out between waterings and make sure the pot has a drainage hole. Add a balanced, water-soluble slow-release fertilizer to the soil at the time of planting. Fertilize container-grown plants after two months. The extra dose of fertilizer will keep your Petunia Supertunia Bordeaux looking fresh and prolong the flowering period.
Deadheading is not required for continuous blooms but if the plant begins to look tired or becomes leggy, trim it back by up to one-third. This plant is typically grown as an annual, but it is hardy in zones 10 to 11. It may survive indoors as a houseplant in full sun conditions.
Supertunia Bordeaux Petunia Spacing
In a garden bed, space plants 12 - 24 inches apart, center on center. They can be planted a minimum of 6 inches apart in a container to achieve a fuller look. They’ll look great combined with petunias with other color blooms or flowering annuals with smaller or large flowers.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
