Features
See what all the hoopla is about! This picotee-patterned petunia is the best we’ve trialed in years. It meets our high standards for Supertunia garden performance, flowering prolifically from spring to hard frost without deadheading. Thanks to its vigorous growth, this long blooming petunia will fill your containers and landscape with vibrant blooms quickly and fully.
It’s easy to spot the boldly patterned blooms of Supertunia Hoopla Vivid Orchid petunia from across the yard. Bright orchid purple flowers with a clear white edge cover the full, well-branched plants all season. While many petunias of this type tend to develop a bruised look as the flowers age, this improved petunia looks fresh until the self-cleaning flowers drop cleanly.
Supertunia petunia plants have a mounded trailing habit which makes them function as both fillers and spillers in containers. They are also excellent landscape plants, best suited for the front of garden beds. Compared to Supertunia Vista® and Supertunia Mini Vista® petunias, standard Supertunias® have medium to large flowers.

Maintenance Notes:Supertunia® petunia plants are easy to grow and will flower non-stop from planting to hard frost if simple maintenance tasks are performed. Growing Supertunias in full sun to part sun is important for their strong growth and bloom performance. They do not require deadheading, meaning the removal of spent flowers, to stay in bloom all season.
Petunias thrive with consistent moisture. Do not let them wilt severely before watering again.
Supertunia petunias perform best when fed regularly with Proven Winners plant foods. At planting time, in containers and landscapes, mix Proven Winners Premium Continuous Release Plant Food into the soil, following the rates specified on the packaging. Reapply halfway through the growing season.
Additionally, Supertunias should be fed regularly with Proven Winners Premium Water Soluble Plant Food according to the rates specified on the packaging. For Supertunias growing in containers, feed every third time you water or at least once per week. For Supertunias growing in the ground, feed once every one to two weeks.
If you have been feeding your petunias regularly and they are getting enough sun and water but are not blooming, you may be dealing with petunia budworm. Learn more about this petunia pest.
By midsummer, it will be time to trim up your Supertunias. Trim the longest stems, bringing them in line with the others, taking care not to remove more than 20% of the plant. Trimming petunias in the landscape is not usually necessary but cutting them back by 20% can make the plants fuller. Follow up by feeding them with water soluble plant food to promote fresh new growth and blooms.

I have been growing petunias for over half my life. This petunia brings me sheer joy. I have planted it in containers and in the landscape this year, and it takes my breath away every time I sit and look at it. The white piping against the purple and the dark leaves paired with its beautiful trailing habit. It’s just a joy to behold. I deadhead just to keep it looking perfect, but it is completely unnecessary. Bravo!

I am thrilled with these. They jumped up and went wild in my window boxes and they are still going strong after three early summer heat waves. Nothing like low-effort color at the front of the house ❤️.

I've noticed that the color is not consistent, some of the blooms have a much larger white edge and a small orchid colored center. Overall plant is healthy..

I bought these Hoopla Vivid Orchid at a local nursery several weeks ago central IL zone 6A. I planted them in large pots on each side of my garage door. They are so full of bloom I can't hardly believe it. Neighbors walking their dogs have stopped and asked the variety name. So so pleased.
