Container #52: Bubblegum & Little Ruby

May 22, 2020 By Cindy Jungman, SDSU Extension Master Gardener

I featured the “Bubblegum” petunia in container #21 and here is another combination using one of my favorite petunias. The deep purple color of the alternanthera brings out the dark centers of the petunia bloom. The juncus plant makes a super thriller background plant.

RECIPE:
• (1) Juncus “Blue Mohawk”
• (2) Supertunia “Vista Bubblegum”
• (1) Alternanthera “Little Ruby”

TIPS:
• Supertunias are truly “super producers.” This cascading plant is covered with blossoms all season.
• Trim the petunia plants occasionally to keep them fresh and full looking.
• Fertilize frequently.
