Origin
Happi tunias were bred in Japan and trialled
in many parts of the world. They were selected for their free
flowering qualities over many months of the year. They have
superior vigour and greater disease resistance than earlier
petunia strains.
Care Instructions
Grow Happi tunias in full sun. Plant into well-prepared,
well-drained garden beds rich in humus, or use a premium potting
mix in containers. Water well until the plant is established
and then water as needed. Apply flower-boosting liquid fertiliser
rather than fertiliser that is high in nitrogen, which will
encourage foliage at the expense of flowers. Prune plants every
few months to remove spent flowers. Cut back to the edge of
the pot or basket.
Uses
Happi Tunias look superb in containers or hanging
baskets on a patio, deck or in a courtyard or planted in your
garden. Happi Tunias are the ideal plants for
adding long-lasting potted colour highlights to the low-maintenance
‘outdoor room’. Individual colours can be planted
alone or in combinations or mix and match Happi Tunias
with other flowering plants. They can be planted in garden beds
for a mass display, for eye-catching highlights or as great
ground cover.
