Description
Jack’s Classic 4 Petunia FeED 20-6-22 is a water-soluble fertilizer formulated for plants that need more iron. It does a good job on petunias and flowers like these. This formula feeds plants through their roots and leaves, encouraging vigorous growth and beautiful blooms.
Enhanced Iron Package
Plants such as Petunia, Calibrachoa, Bacopa, Nemesia, Diascia and Scaevola are prone to iron deficiency. This feed fixes that problem.
- Three Forms of Chelated Iron: These forms remain accessible to the plant, even in hard water or cooler temperatures.
- Additional Micronutrients: Magnesium, Manganese, zinc and copper assist with the plant’s metabolism and prevent other common nutrient deficiencies.
Jack’s Classic Petunia FeED supplies the roots and leaves with iron, which helps them be at their best.
Dual Application Method
This feeder provides two methods to dispense food. Both have advantages.
1. Root Feeding
- Simply pour (diluted) mix onto the soil at the base.
- Nutrients go directly to the roots, providing plants with consistent nourishment.
2. Foliar Spraying
- Spray the leaves with the mixture.
- Nutrients are absorbed through leaf pores for a quick boost, useful when plants show stress.
Growers can select the technique that fits their daily routine, or employ both for extra care.
Ideal for Containers and Baskets
Potted plants often leach nutrients when watered. Jack’s Classic Petunia FeED prevents this with its formula.
- Slow-Release: The iron chelate and additives stay in the soil longer.
- No Clogging: The water-soluble powder dissolves entirely and will not clog drip systems or spray nozzles.
Whether in hanging baskets, window boxes, or planters, this feed ensures a steady supply of nutrients without frequent leaching.
How to Use
Feeding is easy and accurate with a waterproof guide.
Mixing the Solution
- Measure powder with the included spoon.
- Mix into water thoroughly.
Feeding Schedule
- Spray every 7–10 days during the growing season.
- In a continuous-feed system, use the manufacturer's dilution chart.
Tips for Best Results
- It is best to feed them in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the harsh midday sun.
- If foliar spraying on a hot day, rinse foliage with water first.
Who Should Use It
This feed is ideal for gardeners who grow iron-sensitive annuals, which thrive with extra iron to promote hearty growth and abundant, colorful blooms.
- Petunia: Petunias frequently have yellowing leaves under iron deficiency. It is this feeding that keeps their foliage green and their blossoms bright.
- Calibrachoa: Calibrachoa in hanging baskets and containers performs best with frequent, well-balanced feedings to promote continuous blooms.
- Bacopa: Bacopa’s small flowers and cascading habit in hanging baskets are best when roots get a continuous diet of essential nutrients.
- Nemesia & Diascia: These cool-season favorites produce more flowers and richer colors when their iron needs are met.
- Scaevola: With iron-plus-specific potassium feeds, Scaevola continues to thrive and look fresh in hot, sunny settings.
- Other Iron-Loving Annuals: Well suited for Vinca, salvia, verbena, and other annuals that have difficulty with iron uptake, especially in hard water or alkaline soils.
Summary
Jack’s Classic Petunia FeED 20-6-22 is a great product. Formulated specifically for iron-hungry plants, it supports strong roots and more lush foliage and blooms. Double feeding modes and a visible feed chart are perfect for beginners and professionals. Selecting the correct size tub dictates the amount of feed for each grow. This fertilizer is also a great option if people are looking for vibrant annuals all year round.
