Supertunie, actually Supertunia VISTA, is variety of cascading petunias (Petunia x hybrida pendula), from which their name originates super surfing. They have hanging shoots that can grow up to 1 meter in length, while their habit is quite compact. They produce a lot of flowers, more than ordinary surfins, although they may be a bit smaller, but in their mass it is difficult to see the difference.
