At Proven Winners, we aren’t solely focused on bringing you innovative new varieties – we are also constantly improving our existing lineup. Upon noticing somaclonal variations, including foliar distortion and blind shoots as well as funneled flowers, on our top-selling Supertunia^® Bordeaux^™ petunia, we have worked diligently on a solution.

Supertunia Bordeaux II petunia resolves all of the somaclonal variations seen in the earlier version, delivering a consistent performance in small pot production and recipes. We’ve also refined the plant’s structure to form a fuller, more compact, well-branched habit covered in blooms for excellent retail presentation. An earlier bloom time ensures it will be ready to shine during the critical early-season window - ideal for programs focused on peak spring sales.

You will notice that Supertunia Bordeaux II petunia bears slightly lighter lavender flowers with a dark throat and veining. Occasionally, a faint white picotee margin also appears on the petal edges. Since its color is so similar to the original Supertunia Bordeaux, it is an easy swap in recipes where an enhanced flowering performance will result in even greater floral presence.

Like all Supertunia petunias, breeding for thicker petal substance and rigidity results in blooms that are more durable in adverse weather conditions and resilience after rainfall. Plus, strong disease resistance keeps Supertunia Bordeaux Improved petunia growing strong all season long.

OutShine^™ Orchid Salvia

Solving the issues that have held Salvia greggii hybrids back in the past, this exclusive, game-changing selection shines with a plethora of bright orchid pink flowers. They are carried just above the well-branched, rounded ball-shaped foliage non-stop from spring to frost in most climates.

• Deer resistant and pollinator-friendly
• Flourishes in both northern and southern climates
• Grow in 4.25 Grande^™ and 1.0 Royale^™ containers, monocultures and landscapes
• 12-24” height; 24-36” spread

Salvia greggii hybrids have always been popular with pollinators and hummingbirds, but their less than stellar flower coverage and non-uniform habit have held them back from becoming strong sellers. That all changes with the new OutShine^™ series. With consistent flower power from spring to frost in most climates, these game-changing salvias perform equally well in both cooler northern climates and hot, humid southern landscapes. OutShine^™ Orchid Salvia shines with bright orchid pink flowers carried just above the well-branched, rounded ball-shaped foliage. It is slightly more compact than OutShine^™ Red, but the two blend beautifully together in the landscape. Both fulfill consumers’ needs for deer resistant, pollinator-friendly, heat and humidity tolerant, long-blooming landscape plants.
