'Grand Traverse' is made up of the following ever-gorgeous Supertunia® (Petunia) favorites: Black Cherry®, Bordeaux™, and Vista® Fuchsia. Butterflies and hummingbirds can't resist this lovely combo!
Supertunia® Petunias are very vigorous growers. We recommend planting this combination in 12"-14" containers. They will quickly grow and fill out the entire planter, although a light trim in early July will encourage even more branching!
The 'Grand Traverse' Combination adds instant impact all on its own. There is no easier way to bring quick color to your outdoor containers! If you're interested in using the Thriller, Filler, Spiller container planting technique, our 6.5 Combinations are the perfect Filler. You can use additional Thrillers and Spillers to enhance the look but do be sure to increase your container size to at least 16"-18" allowing for better root growth and increased airflow which decreases disease pressure in the planter.
Suggested Thrillers: ColorBlaze® Torchlight® Coleus (Solenostemon), Angelface® Perfectly Pink Summer Snapdragon (Angelonia), or 'Serendipity' Ornamental Onion (Allium)
Suggested Spillers: Proven Accents® Tricolor (Ipomoea), Proven Accents® Sweet Caroline Sweetheart Lime (Ipomoea), or Silver Falls™ (Dichondra)
Care: These are heat-tolerant plants, that aren't particularly fussy and need little routine maintenance. Fertilize weekly with Proven Winners Water Soluble Plant Food for best growth and color. These extra applications of plant food really make a difference in performance through the summer! If your container begins to look open or a bit tired in mid to late summer, a light trim can be very beneficial. Use a sharp pair of scissors or pruning shears to trim back a maximum of 20% of the plant to encourage more branching.
