Supertunias are a garden hit
Vista Bubblegum is one in the group called supertunias. Several colors are available, and you should include these in your landscape bed planting as well. I especially like the stunning effect of the pink and silvery flowers when you combine Vista Bubblegum with Vista Silverberry.
A supertunia that has grown well in my garden is Pretty Much Picasso. This plant has pink petals with a purplish throat. The edges of the flowers are lime green and tend to blend into the foliage, making it difficult to see where flowers end and foliage begins.
Another benefit: supertunias are butterfly and hummingbird magnets.
Vista Bubblegum and the other supertunias are self-cleaning and do not need to be deadheaded. If the plants start to look a little tired, rejuvenate them by trimming them back about a third.
Petunias can be grown in the ground, in containers and in hanging baskets. In-ground spacing is generally best when planted on 18-inch centers. This allows most petunias to form a lush, full mat full of flowers. Always plant the transplants at the original cell-pack or pot depth.
