Yes, the supertunias are over kill. One year I planted them this way. I planted a bubblegum Vista next to a paradise Vista. They got 5 feet across. The bubblegum eventually choked out the paradise. I now plant them 4 feet apart. They're gorgeous this year. I live in zone 6a in Pennsylvania

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Your garden is beautiful! I love all the different colors you picked!

[@shesamadgardener]

+BlueBird Homestead Thank you 💚💚💚

[@Rystical1]

I've always grown petunias and boy was I educated a few years ago. I used to just pull the faded blooms but learned that you should trim your petunias about 1/4 of the way back and they will grow until frost. You can do a drastic cut back too it'll just take a couple weeks to get the plant looking full again. Also, fertilize every other week at a bare minimum

[@shesamadgardener]

+Marissa Petersen I’ll be trimming them back this year!

[@juanitagibbs2100]

I just love them, just cut them back, so you are right I even has a couple make them through the winter, which I had planted with other plants so go for it trim them back they will flush out again.👍

[@shesamadgardener]

+Juanita Gibbs definitely going to trim them this year!

[@stephaniekrause710]

I am in Denton. I usually cut back any leggy supertunias and they will re-flush. I also make sure they are getting fertilizer on a regular basis and have them last all season. I love your garden so much! Good luck with your supertunias this year 💕

[@shesamadgardener]

+Stephanie Krause I am definitely going to cut them back this year!

[@MilesSherry]

I will dig up plants in a heartbeat and it pays off. I’ve had no issues with them rooting and doing well. After the harsh Winter of 2020 here in Dallas, my Vista Bubblegum Supertunias came back in Spring. I was shocked. I bet you’ll get a nice resurgence in Fall. Give it a try!

[@shesamadgardener]

+Forever Ethereal I hope so!

[@DanikaBasista]

i planted mine quite late in the season last year and to my surprise, they overwintered and have been blooming since last july

[@shesamadgardener]

+Danika Basista I would love it if these over wintered!

[@ElderandOakFarm]

Looks grest! So jealous of all the color/blooms you have already!

[@shesamadgardener]

+Creatively, Candace Flower & Vegetable Gardening so bright and happy!

[@blessedwvfam9077]

I loveeee PW supertunia vistas. I’m zone 6b and they handle all day sun through our very humid august. Maybe for your zone they would like first half of day sun better? Your garden is beautiful!

[@shesamadgardener]

+Blessedwvfam yeah Texas full sun is rough 😬

[@msdee2905]

So pretty. The super petunias are gorgeous!!!

[@shesamadgardener]

+Ms Dee one of my favorites!

[@barbarastephens2890]

Supertunias are an amazing plant. I purchased several for two containers. I was in the Birmingham area when they were planted. I had to relocate suddenly to Pensacola. They survived the trip. However, it rained the entire first month I was here. They don’t like wet feet. After that they flourished all the rest of the year. We had many nights of below freezing temps. I assumed, they had done their do so I didn’t attempt to protect them. This is their second year and look at them go. I am waiting for my new shipment at which time I will probably dig them up. What a wonderful plant!

[@shesamadgardener]

+Barbara Stephens they are an amazing plant! I never mind paying more for PW because I know the quality is there.

[@morgaynelove9327]

Greetings from the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state! Im a big fan of the pink double Supertunia! 💗

[@shesamadgardener]

+Morgayne Love hello! What a beautiful state!

[@pd8559]

Two freezes then nearly 90F then now super winds. No wonder this area is one of the most challenging to garden in 🤣

[@shesamadgardener]

+Hobby Woodworker weather here is a HOT MESS!

[@evahaynes4438]

Good job my

[@shesamadgardener]

+Eva Haynes Thank you 💚💚💚

[@gardengatesopen]

Those Can-Cans ARE CUTE!!! I WANT SOME!!!! ha!!

[@shesamadgardener]

+gardengatesopen they are such a fun bloom!

[@grammykeatley9944]

Those will be gorgeous! What will you put in you chair-pot?

[@shesamadgardener]

+Grammy Keatley I haven’t decided yet … it’s an odd location because even through it faces west and get the full summer heat, it is shaded by the Ruby falls red Bud tree 🤔

[@eunicelunsted]

Very nice!! Did you make those chairs with pots?

[@shesamadgardener]

+eunice and rick lunsted yes I did! I have a video about it on my channel. I’ll be planting them up again in the next month or so.

[@AP-1983]

I just bought 26-1.5pt supertunia vista bubblegums yesterday. I have a large yard, with numerous beds. I did supertunia mini vista last year, and they were beautiful.

[@shesamadgardener]

+AP 83 that is going to be STUNNING!!!

[@msdee2905]

I’m in Arkansas. I like planting petunias but you are right when it gets too hot they wither and do not do as well but they give pretty springtime color.

[@shesamadgardener]

+Ms Dee I’m going to try trimming them back during the heat this year as an experiment.

[@NicoleSmithGardening]

I had petunias overwinter in my pots on the front porch. Foliage stayed green down into mid-20’s and now it’s flowering this last week in March 2022. So wired. Have you experienced this with petunias in North Texas? I’m south, near Houston zone 8b/9a

[@shesamadgardener]

+Nicole Smith Gardening I have a couple that will overwinter that are part of the crazytunia variety.

[@NicoleSmithGardening]

@@shesamadgardener oh!!! That is very interesting. Maybe I have one of those. Thanks!!! 💚

[@Glory2GodGarden]

Those plants look great in your garden. I am super excited to bring back supertunias into my garden 🪴!!! Greeting from Zone 7a.

[@shesamadgardener]

+Garden🪴Glory they are such a bold plant!

[@nolagirl7082]

I love Supertunia’s! The Vista series is my fave. They are my go-to for the garden beds in my front yard. They are big impact with very little maintenance, if any! And PW offers a large array of colors. Last year I did the Vista Snowdrift’s and they were so beautiful! White is such classic color and look in the garden. But this year I’m switching it up and doing the oh-so-popular Vista Bubblegums. I would recommend Supertunia’s to any new gardener. As long as you give them plenty of water, they keep pumping out blooms all the way through fall (for me atleast)

[@shesamadgardener]

+Nola Girl they are worth every penny!

[@JenniferPerryMyScraproom]

This is my first year planting supertunia in the flower beds but I have had them in tall pots for the last several seasons. They go crazy! I do give them a trim about mid summer and they re-bloom and last until late fall. I am also in N.TX.

[@shesamadgardener]

+Jennifer Perry My Scraproom that’s great to know! I’ll try trimming them back this year!

[@cymbal2223]

I too am in North Texas and this is my first year planting Supertunias Vista Bubblegum. I was wondering why you planted yours so close together when they claim their spread can be 4 feet.

[@shesamadgardener]

+Wendie Cymbal hi there! I wanted the colors to overlap and mix together. I’ve planted them spaced out before as well, but this space will look like a waterfall of color!

[@michellepollino4986]

I love it! The colors are amazing , love supertunias. The supertunias are going to get huge. Trim up the supertunias once a month and they will keep going until frost. Moving the flowers made that flower bed even prettier than it was

[@shesamadgardener]

+michelle pollino I’m definitely going to try trimming them this year!

[@butterlite100]

I want some supertunias!!

[@shesamadgardener]

+butterlite100 You are going to love them! 💚💚💚

[@angiem8434]

I lover supertunias! I'm in VA zone 8a and they bloom up until early August and then I cut them back for a small second bloom..by mid August I am also replacing them for zinnias. But they bloom so much and so full I have to get them every year

[@shesamadgardener]

+Angie M they are such a vibrant plant!

[@pd8559]

Wait is that steel edging in brown from the L store I did my front landscaping in that.

[@shesamadgardener]

+Hobby Woodworker yep! I kept it simple since my house isn’t fancy … I think stone edging would have been too much 🤔

[@rosemarypurnell3674]

Love the cancan daffodils. Took your advice and transplanted some vincas that survived the winter to another spot in my garden. I, also, have some petunias that survived the winter that were growing in pots on my front porch. I did drag them inside when the temperatures got near freezing. Anything labeled Proven Winner is my go -to when shopping for plants.

[@shesamadgardener]

+Rosemary Purnell I’m all for Proven Winners too … I always know I’m getting a quality plant.

[@christinast6346]

I absolutely love supertunias in my hot humid zone 5B area. My favorites are the vistas! Trying out vista fuchsia this year

[@shesamadgardener]

+Christina St I just grabbed a couple of fuchsia!

[@lonismith3002]

Love all your videos and your easy breezy approach to gardening! That’s how it should be! Also, the cancan daffodils are so cute! Lol Happy gardening!

[@shesamadgardener]

+Loni Smith aww thanks! That is literally my goal in videos so I appreciate you saying that!

[@meganramsey2228]

I experience the same thing with petunias. I typically just use them in a hanging basket that can easily be changed out when ready. I spotted PW mini vistas at Walmart!! 😲

[@shesamadgardener]

+Megan Ramsey ooo! I’ll have to run over to Walmart!

[@kelliwebb2870]

Supertunias don’t do very well in zone 10a. I guess we have too much heat for them. I’ve bought them many times but I usually go with calibrachoa’s instead. They are more heat tolerant and do much better in my area. I love supertunias I just wish they were more heat tolerant. :0(

[@shesamadgardener]

+Kelli Webb I agree that they don’t do well with heat!

[@Rystical1]

The trick is to cut them back not just deadhead and water daily and fertilize regularly

[@kelliwebb2870]

@@Rystical1 I do all that but the fact is they can’t take our heat and humidity seven days a week with no break. They turn into nothing more than bare branches and they can’t pull out of it. They are beautiful for about a month and then it’s all downhill from there. :0(

[@judyruelas7101]

How often do you fertilize your cut flowers and annuals?

[@shesamadgardener]

+Judy Ruelas I fertilize with Plantone when I plant them and that is supposed to last three months. In addition, I use a water soluble fertilizer once a month.

[@pd8559]

Ruby Falls was on my short list as my city forces me to replace the front yard tree I removed but I didn’t know if it would trigger folks being quite small but I wanted the sun for my front landscaping. I ended up with peppermint peach, let me know what you think if you haven’t seen it before look up pictures online.

[@shesamadgardener]

+Hobby Woodworker yeah, the one I have is full grown and tops out at 6ft

[@sandratraugott6522]

I love the fact that you are fearless in moving plants! I’m going to try to be more like that this year. My daughter does that, too. Need t learn from the youngsters!

[@shesamadgardener]

+Sandra Traugott aww thanks!

[@evahaynes4438]

Did you plant the vistas petunias too close together?

[@shesamadgardener]

+Eva Haynes you can plant them further apart but I planted them so they would mix together!

[@jenniferhooks2454]

I love those can-can daffodils. They are so cool! Love the color choices of the supertunias. They look great! I thought about planting them with some coleus.

[@shesamadgardener]

+Jennifer Hooks ironically I usually plant coleus under this tree each year!

[@evahaynes4438]

What size pots are the petunias in?

[@shesamadgardener]

+Eva Haynes they were gallon pots
