A work of art indeed! Eye-popping contrast on a river of blossoms makes for stunning displays with Picasso in Purple. Pairing hot magenta with a zingy twist of lime on the edge that looks painted on, this self-cleaning petunia needs no deadheading and will reward you with living artwork in tropical color all season long.
Attracting both butterflies and hummingbirds, your garden will rival Frida Kahlo’s in no time. The high-performing blooms keep coming all season until a hard frost, and shrug off heat and humidity. At only six to 12 inches high, Picasso in Purple can trail up to 30 inches, making a superlative choice for hanging baskets and containers as either filler or spiller, as well as for massing as an edging or groundcover in the garden.
Supertunia® Picasso in Purple® Petunia Care
Supertunias are heat tolerant, unfussy and need only occasional maintenance. They only require average soil and water, and can bring the bloom in both sun and partial sun, although of course, sun will bring out the best flowering. Supertunias are relatively heavy feeders. At planting time, include controlled-release fertilizer for both landscape and container planting. In containers, you may want to follow up again perhaps every two months, if your region enjoys a long garden season. For best performance, use a water-soluble fertilizer regularly starting two months after planting.
An occasional trim will refresh a tired Supertunia. Just trim back approximately 1/3 of the growth using a small shears or scissors, perhaps while applying some water-soluble fertilizer, and stand back! You’ll see a rebound of blooms and leaves, creating a bushier plant within a few days.
Supertunia® Picasso in Purple® Petunia Spacing
Since Picasso in Purple can range outwards from 18 to 24 inches across, a good rule of thumb for spacing would be 12 inches in containers to 24 inches apart in the garden.

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.

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.
