We received this plant from a local nursery as a Mother’s Day gift and planted it in a bed that gets morning shade and afternoon sun. Without pruning or deadheading, it has continued to flower profusely and spread out to a 5’ diameter circle. It is 6” tall, except where it has begun to climb the neighboring eucalyptus. We live in 8b zone so do not expect it to survive the winter but plan to plant again next year.

Features
Supertunia petunias are vigorous with slightly mounded habits that function as both fillers and spillers in containers. This Pink Tiara petunia is also an excellent landscape plant, best suited to be placed near the front of beds. They have medium to large-size flowers.
One look and you’ll know why this Pink Tiara petunia is so special among Supertunia petunias. Its incredible vigor is impressive, but the luminescent glow which emanates from the center of the princess pink flowers will keep buyers coming back for more vibrant pink petunia flowers.
Stunning princess pink blooms feature a luminescent glow which emanates from the center, not unlike the color patterns found in some morning glory flowers. It’s a new pattern for the Supertunia line, and one that we expect exciting things to come from in the future among long blooming annuals. No deadheading is needed to keep these Supertunia petunias in bloom from spring to fall, making them reliable long blooming annuals. In addition to gorgeous flowers, the vigor of this plant is incredible, with a more trailing habit of a long blooming pink petunia flowers. Combine Pink Tiara petunia with other medium to high vigor plants in large hanging baskets and upright containers or use it as a flowering groundcover for landscapes filled with showy pink petunia flowers.
Plants may be trimmed back with a sharp pair of scissors or pruning shears at any time, although this is not usually necessary. Plants may flush out of flower if night temperatures begin to stay in the upper 70's or above, especially in climates where heat tolerant annual flowers perform best. If this happens a light trim to shape them would be good. The trim will increase branching and will result in more flowers once the temperatures fall and the plants begin flowering again. A yearly application of fertilizer or compost on garden beds and regular fertilization of plants in pots will help ensure the best possible performance from Supertunia petunias, particularly when growing strong, heat tolerant annual flowers.

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.

I am in zone 6b and got this plant from a local nursery. Unlike other supertunias it has been very leggy and very underwhelming. The bloom size is small and it doesn’t get enough buds with the same fertilizing regimen my bermuda beach looked so full and bursting with color and well behaved. This one looked like Medusa with a bald spot in the center. Sorry it is not a supertunia it is a sub par tunia

I absolutely love the super Taunya for hanging planters. I display 21 of them up and down our creek hanging on Shepherd hooks. I constantly get compliments.
