I am amazed by my jazzberry supertunias! As of today, December 8th, after several nights with temps down to the 20s and upper teens Fahrenheit, these beauties are still full and green. They were actually still in full bloom a couple of days ago! I wish there was a way to post photos/videos here. I actually have a video of it snowing while they were still blooming.

Supertunia Vista petunias are one of the best garden plants around. They are large, mounding and spreading plants. They are usually so buried in flowers that foliage is almost invisible. They are wonderful landscape plants, where they put on quite a show. They are also great in large containers. If you are looking for an all out show of color, this is the plant for you.

Maintenance Notes:These are heat tolerant plants, that aren't particularly fussy and need little routine maintenance. They will perform best if an application of controlled release fertilizer is included at the time of planting. This applies to both landscape and container plantings. Supertunias are heavy feeders, but a single dose is usually sufficient for landscape beds in most climates. If you have a very long season, a second application of controlled release plant food should be considered for landscape plantings. In general, containers need to be fed more than landscape plants. Supertunias in containers will need to be fed more regularly to be their absolute best. A second application of a controlled release fertilizer can be applied about every two months to container plants, which will help. However, for the very best performance I find regularly applying water soluble fertilizer starting about two months after the containers are planted gives the best results. These extra applications of plant food really makes a difference in performance through the summer.
If your plant begins to look open or a bit tired, an allover trim can be beneficial. Use a sharp pair of scissors or pruning shears to trim back up to 1/3 of the volume of the plant. I pair any trim with a dose of water soluble fertilizer to provide instant energy to help kickstart new growth, branching and flowering. Your plant will take a week to recover from the trim, but the end result is a fuller plant with more blooms going forward. You may repeat the trim as needed through the season.

I planted jazzberry as a continuous border around our house last season and got compliments from several people. It's beautiful and vigorous!

I planted in ground with eco pot as directed. It's now over 4 weeks and this plant growth is just creeping. It should be double the size. I keep thinking the pot is restrictive. The soil is well draining and loamy. I've used PW fertilizer every two weeks. Full sun. The flowers are smaller than the bubblegum I keep wondering if it was mislabelled? I have 6 plants. All the same growth rate. Not vigorous at all

Jazzberry is such a gorgeous plant. I lined my sidewalk with these in 2022. I also did several pots with them. They bloomed all season long even during the hottest part of the summer. Never had to deadhead them and they never got very leggy. I got so many compliments from my neighbors. Plan to use them, again, this year.

Wow, I thought if i grew these in the full sun Texas heat that they would die.....UPDATE......I grew them two years in a row in four large black containers in my driveway and wow people stop and ask me what is that and where do i buy it. Fun Sun Texas heat.... I added drip irrigation the second year and wow they grew till the fall frost took them.

You will LOVE all "vista" Petunias. They are just gorgeous blooms and so beautiful. I plant mine a little closer together in groupings to ensure full show coverage. No deadheading needed. NOTE: I get budworms on mine as well. Once you see them or the little black droppings, it's going to be a challenge to eradicate. I start a weekly PROACTIVE application of Capt. Jack's or mix my own BT in a sprayer and get ahead of the problem. You may be lucky and not get them. I purchase my plants from PW so that I KNOW I'll have them. Jazzberry and Bubblegum are my favorite. They are very popular at some garden centers and nurseries so I always want to be sure I have the color and quantity I need.

One of my new favorites! Really cool color, blooms constantly and doesn't mind all the 100 degree days. Really vigorous grower. I have them in 15 in pots and they've grown so much I've trimmed them back twice. Will definitely buy again next year!

I have had these in a self-watering hanging pot since spring and they are all going strong despite all the 100+ degree days.

Absolutely love Supertunia vista jazzberry! This is my favorite color Supertunia. I planted one in a self watering pot in morning sun, one in the ground morning sun and one in a regular pot that gets late morning AND afternoon sun. These plants have exceeded my expectations. They thrive in the sunshine and don’t mind the dry/hot desert heat here in Las Vegas, NV. I give them all proven winners water soluble food once a week. And unfortunately I get budworms so I spray with capt. jack deadbug. I’ve given them a haircut too! Already plan on purchasing more in early Spring! You won’t be disappointed if you purchase yourself!
