Maintenance Notes:Supertunia® petunia plants are easy to grow and will flower non-stop from planting to hard frost if simple maintenance tasks are performed. Growing Supertunias in full sun to part sun is important for their strong growth and bloom performance. They do not require deadheading, meaning the removal of spent flowers, to stay in bloom all season.
Petunias thrive with consistent moisture. Do not let them wilt severely before watering again.
Supertunia petunias perform best when fed regularly with Proven Winners plant foods. At planting time, in containers and landscapes, mix Proven Winners Premium Continuous Release Plant Food into the soil, following the rates specified on the packaging. Reapply halfway through the growing season.
Additionally, Supertunias should be fed regularly with Proven Winners Premium Water Soluble Plant Food according to the rates specified on the packaging. For Supertunias growing in containers, feed every third time you water or at least once per week. For Supertunias growing in the ground, feed once every one to two weeks.
If you have been feeding your petunias regularly and they are getting enough sun and water but are not blooming, you may be dealing with petunia budworm. Learn more about this petunia pest.
By midsummer, it will be time to trim up your Supertunias. Trim the longest stems, bringing them in line with the others, taking care not to remove more than 20% of the plant. Trimming petunias in the landscape is not usually necessary but cutting them back by 20% can make the plants fuller. Follow up by feeding them with water soluble plant food to promote fresh new growth and blooms.

First time planting this, love the color but needs to be dead headed constantly or looks very messy. not as prolific as i hoped.

This is second year using Honey in a strawberry pot with smaller flowers. A true performer. I love the variety in the shades of color it produces.

I planted two Honey petunias in a 12" hanging pot, and three in a large patio pot with yellow dipladenias and cordyline. The color is very unique- it reminds me of ripening peaches, greenish yellow blushed with warm pink, and creates an attractive two-tone effect. The plants do tend to get leggy and require some pruning to maintain their shape.

I was sceptical that this would thrive in the heat here and draw hummingbirds. We've had days where the temperature has been 40C in the shade but this plant has really been a show stopper. And the hummingbirds love it!

Received my first Supertunia Honey. The color is nowhere near the vibrant yellow shown in the picture. It is a dirty greenish- yellow color. Will have to see how this looks when it grows some more, but not happy with this color.

I grew this last year and it was my favorite of all time. The color changes were beautiful. It is a spiller for sure. I had it in a huge planter and it trailed all the way down to the floor deck. 3 feet and then some. Everyone was amazed and loved it. Sadly this year I couldn't find it at my nurseries. Next year I will search earlier.

I love the mixture of yellows in the Supertunia Honey and they have spread nicely, however they are NOT self-cleaning. Other supertunias that I have purchased have lived up to that standard. Super disappointed in this supertunia.

Loving the show of this fantastic plant. Next season I will be excited to buy more Proven Winners Petunias.
