PW Annual of the Year: Supertunia ‘Bordeaux’

Laura from Garden Answer talks about Proven Winner’s Annual of the Year: Supertunia ‘Bordeaux’, one of our absolute favorites for containers and garden beds!

Supertunia ‘Bordeaux’ earned its spot as Annual Plant of the Year for good reason. This standout petunia features rich purplish-pink blooms with dramatic dark purple veining. The color stops people in their tracks.

Bordeaux thrives in full sun and blooms nonstop from early summer through hard frost. It forms a soft mound and gently spreads, which makes it easy to use anywhere. Plant it in masses for impact or tuck it into bare spots in garden beds.

This variety shines in containers, both on its own and mixed with others. It pairs beautifully with whites like alyssum, as well as blues, yellows, pinks, and deep purples. With consistent watering, it performs reliably all season long.

If you haven’t grown Supertunia ‘Bordeaux’ yet, this is the year to try it. Stop by our stores to find this Annual Plant of the Year and see how it can become a focal point in your garden.
