If you want to make your friends jealous of your garden, using the exciting new award winning Supertunia Trailing Silver Hybrid is the way to go! This very floriferous petunia is something a gardener dreams of for their garden. This long blooming and lightly fragrant petunia blooms from spring until frost even during a drought. And the color is something new in the Supertunia family of plants with white flowers tinged with purple veins and a purple eye.
Supertunia Trailing Silver Hybrid thrives in just about any climate in North America making it an ideal plant for almost any area. Since it is petunia, it has a deep flower throat and it attracts all kinds of pollinators including hummingbirds. Petunias do best when watered on a regular basis and not allowed to dry out. Since Supertunias are very vigorous plants they should be planted in a larger container or in a large hanging basket that is at least 12 inches across.
Supertunia® Trailing Silver Petunia Care
Care of ‘Supertunia Trailing Silver Hybrid’ is simple. It prefers full sun although will tolerate partial light shade. When planting, you should use some granular time release fertilizer as well as fertilizing with a liquid fertilizer on a regular basis since they are heavy feeders.
To keep them really full, a quick snip taking them back about 1/3 in mid to late July increases their blooms for the rest of the year. Disease is rarely a problem on petunias making them more carefree than other plants in the garden.
Supertunia® Trailing Silver Petunia Spacing
While it is considered an annual in most parts of the country it can be a perennial in Zones 10a-11b. This low growing petunia (only 4-8 inches tall) will fill your hanging baskets with no deadheading, cascade across your flower beds or tumble out of a container making you look like a professional gardener. And it would be ideal for covering an ugly hillside turning it into a thing of beauty!

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.

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.
