Q: Help! My Petunias have male pattern baldness, what do I do?
A: Buy all female.
(Well, when you work in a nursery, you collect these bizarre questions)
Supertunia, Vista Bubblegum from Proven Winners. Supertunia? A Super Petunia? If you have ever experiences the bare stem growth of an old Petunia, no more!
Yep, Supertunias are an improved "cutting grown" Petunia. We visited the Proven Winners growing grounds last summer near San Diego and studied their trials. We also potted our own to compare their perfect coastal conditions against our heat and humidity in Houston, Austin, and Dallas. Vista Bubblegum is far above all seeding Petunias in performance. It's right up there with Amazon Dianthus in the bombproof division of top 10 Fall Annuals.
Vista Bubblegum was a top performer at Jimmy Turner's Dallas Arboretum Plant Trial Field Day. Link here for some great info: http://www.dallasplanttrials.org/20102.htm Notice the picture of Vista Bubblegum in the Petunia trials above.
