Thank you so much for letting us know about Supertunias®. I have them planted in a hanging basket and a window box. Even though I live in hot, almost rainless, middle Georgia with regular water and fertilizer they have bloomed profusely. If P. Allen Smith had not mentioned them I would have never bought them because of my prior experience with petunias, which tend to be long and leggy with sparse blooms. Janice
