    Multiflora Spreading/Trailing Petunia (Petunia Supertunia® Vista Bubblegum) Is AMAZING! I have seven interspersed among the numerous other plants in my sunny hillside garden. Each Bubblegum plant has been blooming non-stop for two and a half months (mid-May through late July) and has formed a large, floriferous mound (36" x 48" or larger). According to a knowledgeable Amish greenhouse owner near my home, Bubblegum is the most floriferous of the Supertunias—in a class by itself. My experience with Bubblegum confirms that description. For color and impact, it is stunning.
