'Supertunia Royal Velvet' petunia (Petunia 'Supertunia Royal Velvet') is an annual for containers, borders, and annual beds. It is typically grown as an annual. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Its purple flowers are fragrant and draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Deer tend to browse other plants first.
