    Features

    Supertunia Vista petunias are very vigorous, with mounding habits that can reach up to 2 feet in height in the landscape and will trail over the edges of baskets and containers up to 4 feet by the end of the season.  They are fantastic landscape plants and are great in large containers, where they function as both fillers and spillers.  In garden beds, they will work either in the front or middle of the bed.  They have medium-sized flowers.

    Maintenance Notes: 

    These are heat tolerant plants, that aren't particularly fussy and need little routine maintenance. They will perform best if an application of controlled release fertilizer is included at the time of planting. This applies to both landscape and container plantings. Supertunias are heavy feeders, but a single dose is usually sufficient for landscape beds in most climates. If you have a very long season, a second application of controlled release plant food should be considered for landscape plantings. In general, containers need to be fed more than landscape plants. Supertunias in containers will need to be fed more regularly to be their absolute best. A second application of a controlled release fertilizer can be applied about every two months to container plants, which will help. However, for the very best performance I find regularly applying water soluble fertilizer starting about two months after the containers are planted gives the best results.  These extra applications of plant food really makes a difference in performance through the summer.

    If your plant begins to look open or a bit tired, an allover trim can be beneficial.  Use a sharp pair of scissors or pruning shears to trim back up to 1/3 of the volume of the plant. I pair any trim with a dose of water soluble fertilizer to provide instant energy to help kickstart new growth, branching and flowering. Your plant will take a week to recover from the trim, but the end result is a fuller plant with more blooms going forward. You may repeat the trim as needed through the season.

    Supertunia Vista -The best petunia for landscapes. Hands down. Supertunia® Vista varieties deliver an outstanding performance over the entire season, lasting an extra month in southern states and well into fall in moderate climates. They are bred to flower earlier, grow taller and wider, and grow more vigorously than other Supertunia®.

    • I received a shipment of around 9 plants in June this year. Only a few survived. These were some of the ones that came infected with some disease that was unknown to me. The plants were dead. And it was too late for a refund or replacement.

    • Absolutely beautiful. The light/dark pink color marries beautifully with other plants. Came very healthy. Love the eco pots. I don’t plant in them — but they are compostable! Love it.

    • For those of you in mild climates (zone 10 CA here) wondering what these are like as a perennial— they are insane. I have two of these, each forming a solid wall of blooms 2 feet high and 4-5 feet across starting in early spring this year (second growing season in the ground), and anyone who sees them in my garden wants to plant them in their own. I have been amazed at their will to grow and bloom. Some bugs tried to eat them and I tried to size control them with dramatic prunings, but they came back bigger and bloomier each time. Mine did lull out of blooms around January, but they held their foliage and stayed attractive through our mild winter (it never got below freezing). I imagine any supertunia in the vista series would perform similarly in a mild climate.

    • This plant is awesome. I love its ultra light pink colored blooms with the pink and purple veins in the throat. They are very prolific, although they do not seem to be able to perform to the level of the Bubblegum Vista. The are still able perform in the same container as the Bubblegum and make a beautiful combination in conjunction with Vista Fuschia. PW Supertunias last much later in the season than normal petunias; I actually have pictures of my Silverberry petunias with a layer of snow on them. They are still alive following several frosts and that snow fall. They are a tough, prolific, and beautiful flower. I highly recommend growing this beautiful flower.

    • I planted one Silverberry plant in each of two hanging pots. The grew rapidly and soon were tumbling down the sides of the pots. They were full of blooms. Each plant grew almost three feet across and made a beautiful display. I was so pleased with them. The only drawback to these plants is that they don't tolerate the cooler fall weather as well as other supertunia varieties I have. Once we got into September the blooms got smaller and less numerous, and the plants don't look as happy.

    • This is the first year I've grown this plant, but it won't be the last! I saw it early in the season on a private garden tour and then purchased several for my own garden. Two plants planted in one 3 foot window box filled in within weeks and provided a huge display that is still blooming into November after several hard frosts. It was also useful in large and small pots on my porch and terrace. I love white flowers because they are a rest to the eyes and appear cool in the heat of summer. Silverberry also provides just that little touch of pink that is very pleasing and which blends with almost anything. This plant has been in constant bloom since early May (6 months), is pretty both at close inspection and from a distance, needs no grooming at all and it grows to be a lovely spreading plant with no effort on my part. I will absolutely search it out next year and use more of it.

    • Beautiful plant but be forewarned this plant is a very aggressive grower and will overpower any other plant you have in your container. Grow it by itself and you will not be disappointed.
