Supertunia Mini Vista Scarlet petunia will quickly become the one in which all other red petunias will be compared. Although it is making its debut in 2023, the tsunami created from the beauty shown in 2022 trials is already causing market jitters. Will there be enough next spring? We can only hope.
Last February, I wrote about how the Supertunia Mini Vista petunias were racking up awards and, certainly in 2023, the new year will be a dream come true. Although I am touting Supertunia Mini Vista Scarlet largely based on my trials, know that the University of Georgia just recognized Supertunia Mini Vista Midnight (also debuting in 2023) with a Plants of Distinction for July, which was nothing short of torrid for the heat.
Then one of the most talked-about plants at Young’s Plant Farm Annual Garden Tour in June was the new Supertunia Mini Vista Yellow. Holy wow, what a year 2023 is shaping up to be. At Mississippi State University’s Truck Crops Branch Experiment Station in Crystal Springs, Mississippi, Supertunia Mini Vista Scarlet was nothing short of dazzling, a real attention-grabber. Of course, this is what we have all longed for in a red petunia, and this one promises to be like none other.
