I've been growing supertunias in large containers for 3 years and I've never had them self-clean. If I don't go out and pick the wilted or dried blooms off the plants, in one week the entire plant will be covered with the small, brown, dried blooms.

I have 14" hanging baskets and find that 1 plant does great and fills out nicely. I did try 3 plants in each basket before and the plants didnt seem to grow large, I removed 2 of the plants the the remaining plants took off huge. I have thw Bubblegum supertunia but my favorite is Jazzberry which is a more purpleish pink color and from my wxperience doesnt grow so straggly. I put Wave petunias in tbe ground around the yard which will grow around 3' wide. This year im trying Wave in planter boxes and even a hanging basket just to see how it comes out. I fertilize at least once a week, when its really hot and im watering daily ill fertilize more often, maybe ever other watering. Ive seen no negative effects from fertilizing often, pmants seem to love it. I get alot of my plants off the clearance rack at Lowes, just make sure the plants still looks alive and it will bounce right back.

Petunias originally were collected from northern Argentina, Uruguay and southern Brazil which have a subtropical climate with mild winters much like Florida or the Gulf Coast. They are mostly a winter flower over there. 10:37

I live in a tropical climate and petunias as well as other annuals whether “cool” or “warm” growing thrive better during our late fall, “winter” and spring season which lasts from November to April. Temperatures during that period usually hover between 82-86° during the day and 62-65° at night and are fairly constant. It is the dry season. They can take full sun during the period from November through March, the rest of the time it’s better to give them some shade. Petunias thrive rather poorly during the height of the summer (June, July, August, September) because of the constant high temperatures (90-92°) and very warm nights (73-75°). They appreciate shade during this period and protection from the frequent rainfall. Petunias like warm (80-86°) days and cool (65°) nights, excessive heat stresses them. Most late spring and summer annuals prefer that range too. Contrary to the general belief in the US, the great majority of annuals whether “cool” or “warm” come from either Mediterranean or subtropical climates or tropical highlands such as central Mexico where the climate is mild to cool depending upon the elevation. Very few come from the lowland tropics where the climate is constantly hot and humid.

Hi Caitlin, I just found your channel. I love your enthusiasm and manner!! I just purchased 16 Bubblegums (can’t find them in stores only online) and 6 Bordeaux, then about 26 other nonamed petunias. Theses are for our formal garden in North Carolina. I don’t know how to send you a before and after photo, but I would if I could.
I look forward to following you on YouTube!

Hi Caitlin, I'm in Northern California Zone 10a. This video very informative - I was wondering of the petunias that you mention can you tell me which ones bloom most of year. Also, it doesn't sound like that Petunias are drought tolerant, because they need lots of regular water, is that correct?

Watched the whole thing waiting to find out if they are shade or sun plants??!
