(Petunia) If you love the look and habit of the Supertunia Vista® series of Petunias, you are going to equally love the Mini Vista® series. Supertunia® Mini Vista® Ultramarine features a smaller petunia flower and a more compact habit. Early to flower, the stunning Royal Purple blooms are a smaller version of the Supertunia® Royal Velvet. The flowers set nicely atop the deep green foliage. The ‘mini’ series is a great landscape option with a smaller profile than the regular Vistas®. In our landscapes we find that Mini Vista® Ultramarine is a vigorous grower forming a compact 6-12 inch tall mound that spreads and trails to 24 inches wide, Mini Vista® Ultramarine likes to be planted in full sun to part shade locations. These heat tolerant plants are long blooming, adding color to your landscape from early summer through fall. Fertilize often for best results. The Supertunia® family of petunias are self cleaning. What that means is that you do not need to pick at them to keep them looking beautiful all summer. We do recommend fertilizing your Supertunia® every 1-2 weeks with a water soluble fertilizer. This helps keep your plants well nourished providing you with loads of color. You may find that mid season your baskets and planters need a manicure. We recommend trimming your Supertunia Mini Vista® Ultramarine back to approximately the bottom of your hanging basket or container or by 1/3rd. This will encourage more branching and freshen up your planter. Enjoy the hummingbirds and butterflies as they visit your plantings.
