With an ever changing palette of color, this improved hybrid shifts from yellow to pink and all colors in between. With its slightly mounding habit, it is destined to become the focal point of your next container or hanging basket. Pair it with brilliant pinks, cool greens, glowing purples or pop it with a trail of silvery foliage for a beautiful presentation.
This heat and drought tolerant annual will be an easy maintainer in your spring to fall garden. Whether you mass it out in your landscape, border or edging, or showcase it in a container, hanging basket or window box, you will enjoy a three season display with just a little care from you. Native to zones 10a through 11b, most of the varieties we see are annual hybrids in Zones 3 to 9.
Supertunia Honey Petunia Care
Set out new plants in the spring after the last frost. Petunias are heavy feeders but that is easily accomplished with a controlled release fertilizer, once a year if planted in the ground unless your season is unusually long, and once every two months with a water soluble fertilizer if you are growing in a container. Container plants do need more intervention from you than in ground plants. Soil pH around 5.5 to 5.8, slightly acidic, will give you best results.
No deadheading is needed for continuous bloom, but if your plants are starting to look a little tired, or are getting leggy, this plant will benefit from a light pruning. Use sharp scissors and cut back about ⅓ to encourage branching and renewed flowering, and give it a light dose of fertilizer at the same time. These really are very vigorous plants and you will appreciate the results of your efforts. It is resistant to most plant diseases and insects rarely bother them.
Supertunia Honey Petunia Spacing
Proper spacing is important for plant health in all garden spaces and petunias need their space, too. Mounding slightly from 6 to 12 inches and spreading out 18 to 24 inches, space your plants out 18 to 24 inches when planting in landscape. Placing them in the front of your garden or container will allow them to spill out, gracefully filling in the leading edge. Intersperse contrasting color Supertunias, there are at least 25 colors available, or accent your plantings with calibrachoas, nemesias, verbena, annual grasses or dahlias for a fantastic season long display.

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.

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).

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.
