Help, Petunias Losing Chlorphyll?

Question

I have two petunias in my garden that are losing their green pigment. All the other petunias around it are healthy and normal. The two petunias that are losing green pigment are still stiff so they are still taking up water. Why is this happening? How can I fix it?

Answer 1

Chlorosis in petunias occur when there is a deficency of iron in the soil.  Your local garden center should carry some type of fertilizer with iron supplements.
