Supertunia® Persimmon - Petunia

Supertunia® Persimmon is an orange-flowered annual petunia with a mounding, trailing habit. The [Proven Winners plant profile](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/petunia/supertunia-persimmon-petunia) identifies its cultivar code and describes it as a container spiller with a long flowering season. ## Growing conditions Place this petunia in part sun to full sun. The profile lists a mature height of 4–12 inches and a spread of 18–24 inches; trailing stems can extend up to 36 inches. It can be used in hanging baskets, window boxes, containers, and landscape plantings. Proven Winners lists flowers from spring through fall and says the plant can continue blooming from planting until hard frost, depending on local conditions. ## Seasonal display Persimmon-orange flowers stand above green foliage. Its mounded growth fills the center of a mixed container while the trailing stems extend over the rim; allow enough room for the listed spread and trailing growth. The selection is also listed for edging and mass plantings. ## Maintenance Keep the soil consistently moist and water before the plant wilts severely. Deadheading is not required for continued bloom. Feed regularly according to the fertilizer label; the profile recommends replenishing container and landscape fertilizer during the growing season. By midsummer, trim only the longest stems and remove no more than one fifth of the plant at a time, then feed to support fresh growth.
