Peters Professional Petunia Special is specifically designed for petunias and other high iron demanding plants. This unique formulation contains three chelated irons, including black iron—the most effective for growing iron hungry ornamentals.

  • Provides iron to plants over the widest pH range to encourage dense, compact growth

  • Ideal for plants that thrive in low pH growing media

  • Fortified with iron HBED, DTPA, and EDTA

  • Elevated magnesium levels improve the calcium/magnesium ratio in hard water environments

  • Pure formulation—no ballast substances

  • Effective for all water types

  • Elevated levels of chelated trace elements ensure robust growth and rich color

  • Contains NPK, magnesium and micronutrients

  • Developed for peat-based cultures (pot plants, bedding plants, and container nursery stock)
