Love this video, I have always either put not enough petunia's into a basket or too little, thank you. From Australia
Glad it was helpful!
Those black petunias are striking!
I found the potato vines to be too aggressive!
I'll be looking forward to other videos in this series! Glad I found your channel!
Thanks for watching.
My interest in gardens and plants up until the last couple of years really was very low and my knowledge level was nigh on non existent, but now ive started to appreciate my back garden and have started to take an interest in flowers and my lawn. You have have become my go to on YT. Everything is explained so clearly and easy to understand. Carry on the good work 👏 and thank you
Thank you so much!
Have always wanted to have my baskets look good - now I know how. Thanks for the great information.😊
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for another helpful video
Also Good to know to check on tag about how vigorous a plant is
Glad it was helpful!
I have been searching for exactly what you showed here today. I now know I have underplanted my 24" long balcony boxes.
Thanks for watching!
I’m so glad your video showed up on my feed today! Great tips for the number of plants to plant in each basket size. Very enjoyable to watch! 👌🪴🥰
Thank you so much! Glad it was helpful!
Very informative video, thank you
Thank you!
Thank you so much for your time and effort in providing helpful planting information! You channel is so informative! I definitely can learn a lot here. I just bought a 12 packs Petunia and two pots of Geranium, so am searching UA-cam for how to care for them. Glad that I've found your channel. Many thank! Subcribed and "likes" to you!
Thanks for watching and learning!
Very good information! For many years I’ve been wondering how do they do those beautiful flower baskets!
Glad it makes sense for you now. Thank you for watching!
Such informative videos, every time 😎new sub!
Thank you!
This is so helpful. I'm still a newbie enthusiast gardener... last year I put too many plants together in each pot and was very disappointed, my flowers didn't do well at all.. Now I get it, thank you!
Thanks for watching.
You are a fabulous personality. Your videos are so enjoyable. Thank you for your generosity, sharing all of your brilliance, Scott! Yeah… schools are tough because so many kids learn different ways. It would be great for your former teacher(s) to see how off the charts genius you really are.
Thank you so much!
Beautiful bro 👏👏👏
Thank you so much 😀
Love your videos on proper planting & watering. I’m going to do a 14” with the 3 supertunias you mentioned. Do I mix the colors in the planter or keep them together?
How many geraniums would I put in a 20” planter please?
I wish you sold your 14” planters online with your fertilizer.
Thanks for your time
Love viola in black during Halloween And gladiola in black
Yes, the black flowers are popular.
Hi, please give me a “how to” dead heading trailing- cascading geranium. Im very interested in your UA-cam series it’s already helping so much! Happy summer from NJ!
Deadheading is the same way as the regular upright geranium.
Great video iam just going to do up some proven winners jazzberry so I was wondering how many plants to put in a 14 inch basket should I add something white in with them like pink cashmere or would that be to much and for soil do you use a special mix
White would be great with the Jazzberry. Our video on soil is here: ua-cam.com/video/9fnFSXxpnVw/v-deo.html
Great info! I just purchased the 4.5" pot supertunia vistas for my window boxes... but an curious how to utilize it in the Planters, because of the size of the planter. ( dimensions in inches-20 x 6 x 5).
Is this too shallow?
Could I/Should I only use one 4.5" supertunia in the middle? Do I need to cut back the root, and if so will this hurt the plant?
Any suggestions are welcomed!
Thanks
You may be able to get by with two super petunias, but they are vigorous so they need some soil volume. You don't need to do anything to the roots as long as you are using good soil (see our videos on soil.)
My experience with Supertunia vista is that one plant covered about 3 x 3 feet. I used Bubblegum last year. I had to trim that one plant off the walk as it fell over the retaining wall. One plant.
They get BIG! We love them.
a real pink spillover!!
Won't get quite as big in a basket.
When do you start your basket for the next spring. TY
Also, do you use any Syngenta products in your baskets?
We start in February and yes we do use some Syngenta lines.
Hello,
I have a 48” wide window box, how many super petunias would you suggest? And what variety?
Thank you!
If it has some depth to it probably every foot or so. Super petunias get big so they will need a lot of good soil.
ive never seen a true black flower. Growers call the deep purple 'black' occasionally, but those look black!
They are definitely black petunias. I was lucky enough to buy 3 this year. They are gorgeous !
Can you give more specifics about the mounding petunias? I have 10 inches basket
Usually we plant 3 mounding petunias in a 10" basket. There are many good varieties.
😮
Are proven winners and wave similar? I’ve always used wave petunias in my window boxes and I’m having a hard time finding them this year. Would the proven winners give me a similar result?
The super petunias from Proven Winners are very vigorous. We do like Easy Wave petunias too which are more compact and turn out very nicely, but not as much vigor as the super petunias.
This was just what I was looking for! Thankyou!
I have a 20 inch hanging basket. Would about 10 Supertunias work?
That would probably be about right.
Supertunias are very vigorous. Last year I had 20 inch hanging basket with 1 bubblegum, 1 silverberry & 1 jazzberry, it filled out quickly & was easier to keep watered in the hottest part of the summer. Saves money too
if i wanted to plant petunia's from seed in the 8" basket would i simply prune it to one plant then? and 2-3 plants for the 10" and so on?
Probably would be better to start the seeds in small containers and then transplant into the baskets. Petunia seeds would be started around Christmas time.
Why can’t I buy your fertilizer from Oklahoma? What can I do to make that happen?
Due to state licensing we can't ship to OK at this time. Just the 19 states that we can ship to. A lot of our customers just ship to a friend or relative in one of the states that we can ship to.
Your pots are obviously gorgeous and successful, but can you have successful 14 inch pots with 3 plants ? I did a lot of reading and that was recommended in a lot of places , but yours are double 🤔. I want them full but don’t need them huge if that makes sense. But maybe I should add more. Some are vistas and others just supertunias.
3 would be just fine in a pot and will fill out nicely.
My 14" petunia basket has begun growing down the sides but has a giant hole in the middle. Unfortunately I bought it pre made & spent $50 on it two weeks ago. It had looked lovely for a week. I used fertilizer on it 5 days ago. Help!!!!
We are doing a series on "Help My Hanging Basket" which will hopefully address some of those questions.
How can you tell the mounding petunias? Most labels don't say at the plant shops.
You can usually see if there is a mention on the tag of "mounding" or "trailing" or "semi-trailing" but yes, not all tags have the needed info.
Most of what I buy either says wave Or nothing at all. If it doesn’t say wave then 99% of the time it’s mounding or lightly trailing (for flower beds) and usually (not always) a little less $ if your purchasing cells.
If it’s a wave petunia they always want to advertise the tm.
@Dani H thank you so much. I bought some Mambo Burgandy in cells so I'm hoping it won't trail that much since I put it in a low pot on my porch.
@@jajatime9724 gorgeous let me know how they do! They’re a dwarf and very tolerant of everything and won’t get leggy either. I’d like to try them in my flower bed next year from seed and a few for pots ❤️
Please let me know how their vibrant booms stand up to July heat. Don’t forget to fertilize as soon as they’re potted. My goal is hundreds of blooms this year, opposed to crispies and long legs 🤞
what mixture of soil do I plant these petunias?
We like Jolly Gardener or a SunGro MetroMix 360...a good quality soil though.
Where can I find a 14 inch hanging basket?
14" plastic baskets are really hard to find, but there are coco liner baskets available here: amzn.to/43DBwAL
You showed a petunia tree in another video…I can’t find info on it anywhere
We no longer manufacture them, but there are still some pictures on our Facebook Page.
Don't put a super petunia in an eight inch basket if you are working class? Lol
Well...it is true!
Ha ha! Only if you upper class
Yep, if you are working all day every day plan on that 8" basket being dead by the end of the week unless its a sprengerii fern. You cant kill those.
Whoosh!!!
@@carolyn6001 it’s a joke ! 😂
I strongly disagree. This is way too many supertunias in a basket! These are monster plants and 1 supertunia will cover a 10” pot nicely.
7 to 9 in a 14” is Rediculous! The supertunias get to be 2 to 3 feet in circumference. Why do you need so many?
You can disagree, we've been doing this for thousands of hanging baskets a year and they turn out incredible.
