Details

All we could say is "WOW" when we trialed this new variety from Proven Winners®. Petunia 'Supertunia Black Cherry' provides a carpet of blooms that are velvety dark cherry-red darkening to black toward the center and throat. The 'Supertunia' line is bred for heat tolerance. Fertilize often. Low maintenance. Trailing habit and low maintenance makes it a winner for both baskets and beds.

Growing Tips

If you have problems with budworms (blooms and buds getting chewed away) we recommend Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew. It's safe enough to be used for organic growing, and we have seen excellent results. We carry this fantastic product at our Kaw Valley Garden Centers.
