Common Questions
Supertunia Honey questions
What zones can Supertunia Honey grow in?
Supertunia Honey is hardy in USDA Zone 10. Inside that range it survives winter in the ground; outside it, grow it as an annual or a container plant you protect.
Is Supertunia Honey deer resistant?
Not reliably. Deer may browse Supertunia Honey, especially tender spring growth — plan on repellents or fencing where pressure is high.
When does Supertunia Honey bloom?
Supertunia Honey typically blooms in spring to fall through late summer. Exact timing shifts a week or two with your zone — Sow's bloom calendar maps it to your garden.
Does Supertunia Honey need full sun?
Supertunia Honey does best in full sun to part shade. In hot climates, afternoon shade keeps blooms fresher longer.
Is Supertunia Honey drought tolerant?
Yes — once established (usually after the first full season), Supertunia Honey handles dry spells with minimal watering. Water deeply its first year to build the root system that makes that possible.
