Wish upon a shooting star! Supertunia Mini Vista® Violet Star Petunia hybrid is that wish that keeps on giving! This plant spreads vigorously up to 24 inches and it reaches 6 to 12 inches in height. Its bushy, mounding green foliage easily drapes over the side of any garden space and softens border edges. Expect long lasting blooms from Spring till Fall frost. Its bloom has a gorgeous violet blue star pattern that creates a dazzling display of color that is truly one of a kind.

This annual is both vigorous and versatile. It has profuse blooms that butterflies and hummingbirds love and flowers that require no deadheading. Once established, this South American native is both heat and drought tolerant and adapts to arid, full sun garden sites. Violet Star petunia makes a great filler addition in container combination planting. Try this petunia hybrid as a groundcover or decorate a high window box or balcony with purple regal stars.

Supertunia Mini Vista® Violet Star Petunia Care

Supertunia Mini Vista® Violet Star is easy and low maintenance. It has a wide range of adaptability from part to full sun areas. Soil should be well draining and it has average watering needs. Once established, this plant can bounce back from periods of drought with ease. Trim ends at any time and only cut up to ⅓ of its volume at one time. Trimming helps to increase branching, vigor, and stimulate blooms. Petunias are heavy feeders and do well with slow release fertilizer at the initial planting with a second subsequent slow release fertilizer application mid season. In containers apply an initial slow release fertilizer and subsequent regular water soluble fertilizer regime to keep blooms prolific.

This annual cannot survive frost or freezing temperatures. Typically this plant is hardy in zones 10 and 11. Overwintering indoors or outdoors in more temperate zones is not recommended.

Supertunia Mini Vista® Violet Star Petunia Spacing

Space this plant at least 12 to 18 inches apart when planting in the landscape and leave as little as 6 inches apart from each plant in container and combination plantings. Use a 12 inch hanging basket or 14 inch container minimum. Violet Star can be competitive in combination plantings, so choose plants that match its vigor.

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.

Guarantee and Warranty

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.
