Supertunia Black Cherry and Limoncello

Proven Winners new Supertunia Black Cherry has sexy, burgundy-red flower petals surrounding a black throat. Mesmerizing! Like all Supertunias, it needs zippo deadheading, thrives in full sun, and is extremely heat tolerant and disease resistant. Add to these attributes its allure for hummingbirds and butterflies and you’ve got a real lady killer. Deer are the only unimpressed ones. Supertunia Black Cherry gets 6” to 10” tall and will cover 2 to 3 square feet! I love using it in the landscape as a weed suppressing mat. It’s a divine partner with ‘Festival Star’, a perennial Baby’s Breath (Gypsophila) with airy white flowers that blooms from May through October. A match made in heaven! Supertunia Black Cherry has also made its way into three new container combo plantings from Proven Winners: Cherry Bomb, Red Velvet Cake and Red Red Wine.

If dark, sultry colors aren’t your thing, then reach for Proven Winners new Supertunia Limoncello. Limoncello bumps Supertunia Citrus aside with its softer yellow flowers and stronger branching habit. It’s also more tolerant of heat and cold. Supertunia Limoncello has a light, cheerful, angelic look, growing to 10” – 15” tall and sweeping to 20” to 28”. Limoncello looks dreamy when paired with Suberbena Royal Plum Wine and Euphorbia Diamond Delight.
