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.
