Description
Petunia Supertunia Mini Vista 'Violet Star' forms large, very floriferous balls in one season, covered with small single flowers displaying a lovely violet star pattern on a white background. An excellent substitute for Calibrachoa in moist soils, this bushy and slightly trailing annual plant blooms from late spring to autumn, unaffected by heat and bad weather. It requires full sun, fertiliser, and regular watering to thrive. Plant this petunia in your containers or hanging baskets, as well as in the garden where it forms wonderful, colourful ground covers.
Petunia belongs to the solanaceae family; it is closely related to ornamental tobacco and its foliage also contains alkaloids. These annual, biennial, or tender perennial plants are mostly grown as annuals and are all native to the warm regions of South America. Petunia Supertunia is a sterile hybrid petunia dating back to 2006, with a trailing and weeping habit rather than an upright one, making it a stunning plant in hanging baskets. It also stands out for its beautiful and very long flowering period.
Petunia Supertunia Mini Vista 'Violet Star' forms a beautiful, very dense cushion that is 30 cm (12in) tall and about 55-60 cm (22-24in) wide, slightly trailing by the end of the season. The plant is in bloom from June to October, until the first frost, as long as it is regularly fed, and watered during prolonged dry periods. Its small, cup-shaped flowers are 3 cm (1in) wide, white with violet stripes and a dark violet throat. They are tightly packed together on flexible and fuzzy stems, hiding dense foliage. The greyish-green, ovate, hairy leaves have a pointed tip and entire edges and are vigorous and healthy. This variety tolerates rain and heat well, and its faded flowers fall off naturally, without the need for pruning. No other flowering annual plant has undergone such intense selection by breeders for such a long period. The results are impressive and petunias compete with geraniums for the splendour and duration of their flowering, as evidenced by this variety 'Supertunia Mini Vista Violet Star'. Place it in large pots, troughs, or hanging baskets, alone or mixed with blue or pink surfinia, a purple-leaved morning glory (I.Sweet Heart Purple) or a blue sage. If you want to stand out, plant several to create an original ground cover at the base of grey-foliaged plants such as artemisias and cineraria maritime.
Note: Please be aware that our plug plants are professional products intended for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them in shelters (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame...) at a temperature above 14 °C for a few weeks before being planted outdoors once all risk of frost has passed.

Planting and care
You can plant your Supertunia Mini Vista Violet Star petunias in the ground or in a pot. If you want to plant them in the ground, wait until the last heavy frosts have passed (Supertunia petunias can tolerate a light late frost). In the meantime, you can grow them on in a pot in a warm and bright place to accelerate their growth. Their habit will be more branched if you pinch the tips of the young shoots. Plant your petunias in a sunny location sheltered from the wind. They need light and humus-rich soil, well-draining soil. Do not water them too much at the beginning of vegetative growth, as they are sensitive to excess moisture. They will need regular and frequent watering during hot summer temperatures. They are floriferous and fast-growing, very hungry plants. We recommend feeding them with a liquid fertiliser once or twice a week during the growing season. Remove faded flowers and dry leaves as they appear to keep them looking beautiful and extend their flowering.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
