Proven Winners Petunia SUPERTUNIA Vista Bubblegum 4.25" (8-Pack)

I have had great response from Proven Winners and will continue to order their beautiful variety of plants.

I just received these beautiful PW Bubblegum petunias last night. Today I unwrapped them and deadheaded the spent blooms. I put water in the sink and let them sit for an hour or so to hydrate them. They are ALL stunning and have many blooms! Now, being inZ 5b, have to decide when I can plant them. I am very pleased with my purchase!

I ordered 16 of these. They came in four boxes of four. When they came in the mail they were all a little weak looking. Some had moist soil and others were dry. Four of the were basically complete green mush (looked like steamed spinach all the way down to the soil). I wasn't surprised by any of this since they came a long way in cardboard boxes. I was willing to risk it since I heard such good things about this plant, and I could not find it any other way in my area.Anyway, I planted all of them in a front flower bed on the north side of my house in Dallas, Texas area. To make sure the plants had a good chance of surviving and thriving, I amended my flower bed soil with new garden soil mix and put Osmocote smart release fertilizer in each hole before covering the plant roots with soil. I also watered them each well.After two days, all of them died down to dry yellow/brown stems except for 6. That's a 38% survival rate. Not real good. The ones that have survived have come back well. They look scraggly but have flowers mostly. I water every other day (sometimes daily) since it is so hot and dry now. Also, once I week I'm putting Miracle-Gro fertilizer.I had heard that the Superbells are not good in the ground, and the Supertunias do fine in a planter or in the ground. But my experience my be evidence that these Supertunias are also only good in planters and potting soil. I just know they are not good for putting in the ground in my yard at least. I have much more success with other plants. I'm striking this plant variety off my list of things to use in my yard.

These plants were beautiful when they arrived...packaged meticulously, in bloom and had well established roots. This photo is the progress of 4 of the plants in a very large pot in just under a month. I've been so pleased with this purchase!I just added a second picture from September showing that these have CONTINUED to just get bigger and better!

These petunias came beautifully shopped and healthy on May 21, 2021 to southern AL zone 8 B. The picture above was taken today, July 1. I contacted to seller after a month of not growing under the same conditions as some a bought at a local nursery because these while pretty were not growing and mounding like all the other Bibblegun Vistas I had. They did not seem concerned other than to say they would report it to their growers. This would be great if marketed as a dwarf bubblegum which I don’t think exist. I’m really disappointed in growth rate but they’re pretty. Not one offer to replace or discount by the seller. I’m writing this review many weeks later because I waited to see if they took off growing before I reviewed which is much more considerate than they were with my complaint. $9718 for a very low performer.

I purchased PW Bubblegum supertunia vista a week ago and needed more; these came and the plastic pw pots were thinner than the last batch, the green foliage is lighter than the last batch...and these very few blooms--looks white with a dark pink star center...however they were all labeled Bubblegum...they aren't pink like the last batch...2 were dead. They did come quickly and seemed to be handled and packaged with care... I just am not sure what I have until they bloom and fill in.

I was so impressed. They came days earlier, than expected. They are already in bloom and look gorgeous! I will be ordering from this seller again.

Like, healthy and growing like crazy.
