Supertunia Giant Pink Petunia Care

Supertunia® Giant Pink Petunia requires little maintenance and re-blooms often with no deadheading required. It requires full to part sun.

If at any time this plant gets too leggy, trim off ⅓ of its growth and apply regular applications of water-soluble fertilizer. Its soil and water needs are average but may need supplemental watering. Hanging baskets tend to dry out quicker than larger containers or landscape plantings. Be vigilant about watering, especially in the heat of the summer. Ensure that the roots don’t completely dry out. Twice daily watering or irrigation will help mitigate any potential watering issues.
