The Supertunia Mini Vista® Scarlet Petunia is a vigorous hybrid plant that continues to bloom from spring through fall. The delicate bell-shaped flowers are a rich scarlet hue and look lovely on their own or when included with other flowering plants. Small green leaves grow along the vines but are hard to notice due to the abundant flowers.
Grow this plant in beds, borders, or containers. Feature this beauty in a hanging basket or window box so the long vines can trail, and the flowers can be fully displayed. You can also use this power bloomer to create a stunning ground cover. This plant is easy to maintain and is both drought and heat tolerant. The Supertunia Mini Vista® Scarlet Petunia is grown as an annual in most areas, but you can grow this Petunia hybrid as a perennial in zones 10 and 11.
Supertunia Mini Vista® Scarlet Petunia Care
The Supertunia Mini Vista® Scarlet Petunia needs 4 to 6 hours of sunlight. Plant it in soil with high organic content that is moist but promotes drainage. The Supertunia Mini Vista® Scarlet Petunia is a heavy feeder; rich soil, along with an application of blanched fertilizer during planting and mid-summer, are enough to keep this plant growing and blooming throughout the growing season. Water this plant when the top few inches of soil are dry. Container plants may need water daily, depending on the amount of sunlight the plant receives.
Deadheading is unnecessary, and spent flowers naturally fall away. Pinch back new growth to encourage a bushy appearance or trim the plant back by one-third about halfway through the summer if the growth is looking leggy. Apply fertilizer after a midsummer pruning to help jumpstart new growth. Potted plants can be cut back and brought inside in the fall to be grown as houseplants.
Supertunia Mini Vista® Scarlet Petunia Spacing
The Supertunia Mini Vista® Scarlet Petunia will reach 6 to 12 inches tall and spread 18 to 24 inches. Space plants 12 to 18 inches apart in the ground or feature 4 to 5 plants in a 12-inch container. Stems can trail 24 inches, so place the container high enough for the limbs to hang down.

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 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).

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.
