Item Description

Want to create a show stopper? Make people say WOW? Do you have hanging baskets, containers or large flower beds in your community and are eager to have the brightest, toughest and longest-lived varieties? The Proven Winners "Supertunia” series could be your answer. This package entitles you to 200 "Supertunia Mini Vista Pink Star" liners (Proven Winners' Plant of the Year"!) and 200 "Supertunia Vista Bubblegum." 

Many of our America in Bloom communities use these varieties for their hanging baskets. And they are even terrific for in-ground bedding. If you win this package, you will receive some amazing plants delivered to your doorstep, free of charge. You just need to let Proven Winners know when and where to ship them.

Donated by Proven Winners, The #1 Plant Brand. Based in Sycamore, IL, Proven Winners searches the world for the best vibrant flowering annuals, perennials and shrubs. They believe better garden begins with better plants. When you grow Proven Winners plants, you'll surely fall in love. Their plants have been proven in trials from coast to coast in the U.S. Each year they ask their growers, retailers and consumers what their favorite Proven Winners plant is and this year Supertunia Vista Bubblegum was voted their favorite.

Supertunia Vista is a remarkable series of petunias. Hands down this is one of the easiest petunias to grow and out performs most others. From bright pink to light lavendar to fuschia to white, these plants are remarkably drought tolerant and very fast growing. They require little fertilizer and no deadheading. "Supertunia Vista Bubblegum" was the 2017 National Plant of the Year and is perfect for large city planters, municipal hanging baskets, and bold bright color statements for entrance signs and other drive by landscapes. Check out the Proven Winners website for more information and photos.

These liners are available for shipping February-April 2021. As these are liners, they are small plants that need to be finished into baskets or pots by a local grower or a community group such as a high school or garden club before they can be effectively put on display in a municipal setting. Give them some room and enjoy the results all summer long!
