Supertunia Vista Bubblegum Petunia (Petunia 'Supertunia Vista Bubblegum')
peh-TOON-yah 'Supertunia Vista Bubblegum'

Deciduous Perennial (usually grown as an annual near you) Vigorous, Mounding and Spreading in the Solanaceae Family
A vigorous, large-growing petunia in bright pink with distinctive red-purple veining -- one of the original Supertunia Vista colors.
Supertunia Vista Bubblegum is one of the original colors in the large-growing Vista tier of the Supertunia brand, covering its vigorous mounding-and-spreading habit in bright pink blooms veined in red-purple. It's among the largest-growing Supertunias, trailing to 36-48in when grown in hanging baskets.

Pros

  • Bright pink blooms with distinctive red-purple veining
  • Vigorous, large-growing habit -- fills big baskets and containers quickly
  • Self-cleaning, no deadheading needed

Cons

  • Needs full sun to bloom well; part shade reduces flowering
  • Large habit needs a big container or ample bed space
  • Benefits from regular feeding to sustain vigorous growth
This plant is probably not winter-hardy outdoors where you live.
Highlights US Plant Patent 17,730 ('USTUNI6001'); one of the original Vista-tier colors, introduced well before the Plant 21/Wingen LLC era -- see auditnote on a possible newer 'Bubblegum II' replacement.

Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants

Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.

Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.

We order from a rotating cast of the best nurseries in the Great Lakes region. It looks like we've offered this plant in the past, but the nurseries we're working with this week don't appear to have it in stock at the moment.

Our goal is to bring as many plants together under "one roof" as possible, so we'll try hard to make it available again in the future!
