Supertunia Mini Vista® Scarlet Petunia

Supertunia Mini Vista Scarlet Petunia is a vibrant, heat-tolerant compact bloom designed to flood your garden, containers, or hanging baskets with bold scarlet color all season long. Prized for its reliability and intense flower power, this Proven Winners hybrid requires minimal fuss yet rewards gardeners with nonstop flowering from spring through fall.

This petunia thrives in full sun to part shade locations, needing at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Ideal soil combines rich organic matter with excellent drainage to keep roots moist but never soggy—a critical balance that prevents root rot and maximizes bloom longevity. Water your Supertunia consistently when the top soil feels dry, increasing frequency in hot summer months, especially for containers which dry out faster.

Fertilize frequently for peak summer performance. Start with a slow-release fertilizer when planting, then feed with a water-soluble fertilizer every 1 to 2 weeks during growing season. This regimen ensures your Scarlet Petunia maintains vibrant blooms and robust growth without the mid-season slump common to petunias in raised beds or baskets. Avoid overfeeding to prevent leggy growth and leaf burn.

Pruning is straightforward: no deadheading required. These self-cleaning blooms naturally drop spent flowers, reducing maintenance significantly. If your plant appears leggy in midsummer, perform a light trim by cutting back no more than one-third of the stem length to encourage bushier, fuller growth. Follow up with a feeding to jumpstart renewed flowering.

 Hardy in heat and drought, Supertunia Mini Vista also deters deer and rabbits and attracts vital pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds for a lively garden ecosystem. Use it effectively as a spreading spiller in mixed containers, mass plantings, or as a vivid border accent.

For best results, monitor soil moisture carefully and provide consistent nutrition. This high-performance petunia rewards attentive gardeners with brilliant scarlet color, low maintenance, and exceptional versatility. Whether you are a seasoned horticulturist or a passionate novice, the Supertunia Mini Vista Scarlet is engineered to deliver reliable garden success and eye-catching floral displays.
