Petunia ‘Supertunia Lavender Skies’
Supertunia Lavender Skies, Mounding Petunia
Petunia ‘Supertunia Lavender Skies’ is a mounding trailing annual or perennial boasting masses of lavender flowers adorned with a yellow heart from late spring to the first frosts. Vigorous and blooming freely all season, this Petunia is perfect for the front of flower beds. It is terrific in containers or hanging baskets, where it can function as a filler or trail gracefully over the edges. Heat and drought-tolerant, it attracts hummingbirds and is wonderful for creating a dazzling display through the summer.
- Grows up to 12-18 in. tall (30-45 cm) and 18-24 in. wide (45-60 cm).
- Extremely easy to grow, Petunias thrive in full sun to part shade in moderately fertile, humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil.
- This Petunia is perennial in hardiness zones 10-11 but treated as an annual in cooler areas.
- Self-cleaning, no deadheading necessary. Fertilize often for the best summer performance. Cut back plants that become leggy.
- Keep an eye out for aphids, slugs, snails, gray molds, or foot rot.
