No pruning required

@@josiahcollett3635 thank you very much! I greatly appreciate you replying so quickly. I bought two huge, beautiful hanging baskets and most of the flowers have run their course and I had no idea what to do to get the flowers to continue to grow to replace the ones that are no longer with us. 😃

I never have to deadhead. These are Supertunias from Proven Winners. Vista Bubblegum, Vista fuchsia, and Vista Silverberry.

@@josiahcollett3635 Thank you for this.

I never had to deadhead these. The new blooms cover the old ones. Sometimes after a rain there were some old blooms showing, but I just waited a couple days and then they disappeared.

@@josiahcollett3635 interesting, I was always told the spent flowers go to seed and that takes energy from the plant and you won't get as many flowers... I may have to do a side by side experiment, thank you for the reply!

@@egz3910 some petunias will put more energy into producing seeds, but with enough fertilizer it shouldn’t be a problem. There are also lots of sterile varieties available now too! I primarily grow the Proven Winners Supertunias, because they don’t produce seeds.

@@josiahcollett3635 well at least I know that for next year, supertunias it is! 🤣

@@egz3910 they’re a little more expensive, but I think it’s worth it

For sure!

There are 6 in each. If you’re planting your own, you could get away with just 4.

Yes

Lavender and smaller petunias or calybrachoas

These are called Supertunias from Proven Winners. You can find them in most garden centers.

Proven Winners Supertunias. Bubblegum, Fuchsia, and Silverberry.

Nothing fancy. 12” plastic euro hanging baskets. a.co/d/b7LzU4f

@@josiahcollett3635 thank you

6 plants in each. These are Supertunias from Proven Winners. The vista and mini vista series are really good. These are Vista Bubblegum, Vista Silverberry, and Vista fuchsia.

@@josiahcollett3635 man you know your stuff..one more quick question. do you dead head that little green seed pods or just fertiliser ?

@@Raniljayakody just fertilizer! Supertunias are actually mostly sterile, so they produce very few seeds if any. The only time you might feel like you need to deadhead is after a rain, because a lot of the flowers will melt if they stay wet too long. But if you fertilize, it only takes a few days for new flowers to cover all the old ones.

@@josiahcollett3635 hopefully next summer i can grow one like yours.. thank you for info🙏🙏🙏

The pink flowers below are petunias: Supertunia Mini Vista Pink Star

These are Supertunias, which cannot be grown from seeds. The best varieties are hybrids that are grown from cuttings.

@@josiahcollett3635 okay 👍 so I guess no way I can get in UK ?

​@@josiahcollett3635 when do you do the fertilizer and then when the watering? I wouldn't want to rinse out all the fertilizer. Thanks

@@lindsayb1329 water lightly before adding the fertilizer. You want the soil to be moist so that it can absorb the fertilizer, but not too wet so that it runs out the bottom.

Mine have done the same, I've tried dead hearing, cutting back and no luck. I do think I was not using enough fertilizer. Other thing I learned from another video, that possibly during the hot months I should have watered at least twice a day. If it has more plants (not fullness but actual plants) will need to be watered 2 to 3x a day during summer to survive and be full.
