Each year, the Meadow View staff chooses an annual that thrives with minimal care and maintenance.

We call them our ‘Proven Performer.’ These plants are chosen from varieties tested in our MVG landscape display beds and our home gardens. This year, the honor goes to the Supertunia® Vista ‘Bubble Gum’ petunia.

This show-stopping beauty sports hot pink blooms! It is a vigorous grower mounding 16″ to 24″ tall. Extremely easy to grow, self-cleaning, well-branching, tough and drought resistant are just a few more of its magnificent attributes. Equally outstanding in borders or containers, planted in full sun in the ground is where they shine their best. Hummingbirds and butterflies love them.

For optimum performance, we recommend applying Osmocote® slow-release fertilizer at planting to provide season-long nutrition. Although not required, dead-heading can encourage more blooms.

Previous ‘Proven Performer’ winners include Salvia ‘Black and Blue,’Petunia ‘Blanket®,’ Celosia ‘New Look,’ Verbena ‘Homestead Purple,’ Begonia ‘Dragon Wing’ and Euphorbia ‘Hip Hop.’
