4.25 in. Grande Supertunia Bordeaux (Petunia) Live Plant, Purple Flowers (4-Pack)

Purchased these flowers at the beginning of June. They have nearly quadrupled in size! Very pleased with this purchase!

The petunias arrived very quickly and were in excellant shape even after having been shipped in Texas in summer. It arrived as a healthy plant, blooming when it arrived, and the color was as vibrant as the picture shows. I was impressed with the shipping container and custom cardboard inserts to secure the plants and protect them. This is not the same experience I have had with previous mail order plants from other sources, where the plants were half dead and conventional shipping materials like styrofoam peanuts were used. I have bought a lot of Proven Winner plants in the past from the nurseries and Home Depot garden center around here, and these are as high quality as those were. I will do more buying mailorder like this based on this experience.

Even though the package was delivered sideways, the plants were packed well enough to survive the rough treatment :)

Beautiful! Used as a border in flower garden and I watered daily giving liquid fertilizer every 2 to 3 weeks or so. They were in direct sun all day throughout the summer and they grew beautiful with no real care needed. Will be buying more next year.

After reading some comments about these 'Supertunias', and how easy they were to grow, we thought they would be perfect to add some color to our yard, here in southwest Florida. In May, we ordered one each of the Bordeaux, Lavendar Skies, and Vista Silverberry, thinking these would be enough to fill in a small area of one of our island beds. Ordering and delivery was no problem. They arrived a few days later, and we did think the plants were on the small side, but figured if they grow as fast as reported, this would be OK. We planted them, following the instructions, with the slow release fertilizer, and watered them in. The bed gets full sun most of the day. After a week, they looked pretty much the same. A few more flowers had opened, but no signs of new growth. Still, we kept them watered, checked them daily, and waited...and waited...and waited...! By the end of June, the Bordeaux was starting to die off in the center, so my wife trimmed it a little. Lavendar Skies had done nothing, and was still laying prone. Vista Silverberry looked a bit better, but, as it is supposed to be a taller variety, had not grown in height. July came and went with no improvement, and by the end of the month all three had gone. It's hard to even see any signs of them. So we now still have a bare, colorless patch in an otherwise pretty island. The Ti plant, bougainvillea, plumbago, ruellia, and vinca are all doing well. We also have a regular purple petunia in a hanging basket, on a Shepherd's Hook, that my wife bought in February. That has had a couple of 'haircuts', and is still flowering well. Maybe these 'Supertunias' would be OK for a planter, as temporary annual color, but we are not impressed, and think many of the positive reviews are misleading.
