Supertunia® Honey is an award-winning, high-performance petunia variety known for its incredible color-changing blooms and vigorous growth habit. This selection features a warm, sunset-inspired palette of coppery-gold, soft yellow, and peach tones. Unlike traditional petunias, it is bred for heat tolerance and "self-cleaning" properties, making it a favorite for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance yet high-impact floral display.
Mature size: 6–12 inches in height; spreads or trails up to 18–24 inches.
Flower: Funnel-shaped blooms in shades of yellow, amber, and orange; blooms continuously from planting until the first hard frost.
Foliage: Medium green, slightly ovate, and mildly pubescent (fuzzy) with a sticky texture typical of the genus.
Hardiness: Typically grown as an annual; perennial in USDA zones 10–11.
For optimal flower production and a dense growth habit, Full Sun (at least 6+ hours of direct sunlight per day) is required. While it can tolerate partial shade, a lack of light will lead to "leggy" stems and fewer blooms.
Supertunias have a high metabolism and require consistent moisture. In containers or hanging baskets during peak summer heat, daily watering is often necessary. The soil should be kept moist but not waterlogged; water at the base of the plant to keep the foliage dry and prevent fungal issues.
Requires well-draining, high-quality potting soil or garden soil enriched with organic matter. A slightly acidic pH (5.5–5.8) is ideal to prevent iron deficiency, which can cause yellowing of the leaves (interveinal chlorosis).
To maintain its rapid growth and heavy blooming, this plant is a "heavy feeder." Apply a water-soluble, balanced fertilizer every one to two weeks. For best results, incorporate a controlled-release fertilizer into the soil at the time of planting.
One of the primary benefits of the Supertunia line is that they are self-cleaning, meaning they do not require deadheading (removing spent blooms) to keep flowering. However, a "trim" or "haircut" in mid-summer—removing about 20% of the stem length—will rejuvenate the plant and encourage a fresh flush of growth and flowers.
Supertunia Honey is a versatile "spiller" and "filler" in garden design. It is exceptionally well-suited for:
Hanging Baskets and Window Boxes: Where its trailing habit can be fully displayed.
Mixed Containers: Pairs beautifully with purple or deep blue companion plants (like Salvia or Scaevola) for a high-contrast look.
Groundcover: Can be used in landscape beds to create a dense, flowering carpet.
Supertunia Honey is a sophisticated choice for gardeners who want the classic petunia look with modern reliability. Its unique, multi-tonal blossoms provide a warm glow to the garden, while its heat resistance and self-cleaning nature ensure it remains a "pro" performer throughout the entire growing season.
