More About Supertunia® ‘Hoopla™ Vivid Orchid’

‘Hoopla™ Vivid Orchid’ is unapologetically bold. The intense orchid-purple petals are sharply outlined with a neon chartreuse ring that stays visible even in strong sun, giving every bloom a graphic, high-energy look. Unlike softer patterned petunias, this variety reads clean and crisp from a distance, making it especially effective in large containers and high-traffic garden spaces.

As part of the Supertunia® lineup, performance is a given. The plant spreads evenly, producing a dense canopy of foliage and flowers without thinning or stretching. The blooms continuously refresh themselves, keeping the plant looking fresh without the need for deadheading.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

In our trials, ‘Hoopla™ Vivid Orchid’ consistently delivered both color impact and raw performance. It filled containers quickly, stayed balanced, and kept its distinctive ring pattern even through heat and variable weather. The contrast never dulled, which is critical for ringed petunias.

We like this one when we want instant attention and season-long reliability. It pairs especially well with chartreuse foliage, bright whites, and deep purples, but it’s also strong enough to stand alone. If you’re looking for a petunia that performs like a workhorse but looks like a showpiece, this one earns its space every time.

Supertunia® Hoopla™ Vivid Orchid vs. Other Petunias

Hoopla™ Vivid Orchid is all about contrast, with vivid purple petals sharply outlined in chartreuse for immediate visual punch. The plant grows aggressively with a spreading habit, and flowering stays nonstop throughout the season, making it one of the most attention-grabbing Supertunias available. When viewed alongside Royal Velvet, Hoopla trades depth for pattern and brightness. Set against Really Red, it reads more modern and graphic and forgoes subtlety in favor of bold, high-impact color.

Compared to the Supertunia® Vista Series, Hoopla is more controlled but equally eye-catching. Vista varieties focus on mass color. Hoopla focuses on definition. It’s better for containers where detail matters. Vista works best at scale. Against Crazytunias, Hoopla bridges the gap. It has Crazytunia-level novelty with Supertunia vigor. It spreads faster and fills larger spaces. Crazytunias stay tighter and smaller, while Vivid Orchid offers the best of both worlds. It works best with simple companions that don’t compete. This is a Supertunia you use intentionally; it’s bold by design.
