Supertunia® Royal Velvet® Petunia Care
Just water regularly, ensure full sun, and add supplemental fertilizer to ensure the best success. Container plants tend to demand more attention because containers tend to dry out faster and have less soil space for roots to grow. Supplemental watering and more frequent fertilizer applications are typically needed for plants in containers. Trimming is not essential, but it can be helpful to stimulate flower development and vigor.
Supertunia® Royal Velvet® Petunia is an annual that especially likes warm summer days or the warmest zones of 10 and 11. Frost is detrimental to this plant. Typically this plant will only survive one year or one growing season and overwintering indoors is not recommended.
Supertunia® Royal Velvet® Petunia Spacing
The smallest container recommended for this plant is a 14-inch pot. Regular fertilizing is the key to bigger and bushier container plants. Unlike containers, Supertunias can be spaced further apart. We recommend spacing these plants anywhere from 12 to 24 inches away from each other.

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.
