This product is specially formulated for those chronically iron-hungry crops such as petunia, calibrachoa, bacopa and others. The original Jack's FeED product designed with all three iron chelates, EDTA, DTPA and EDDHA. Our proprietary blend of iron level is unmatched by any competitor and guaranteed to deliver iron at a much broader range of pH over the entire crop cycle. This nutrient profile is also paired with a low phosphorus level to help prevent excessive elongation. It is not recommended for use on geraniums or other iron sensitive crops.
For use on: Petunia, Calibrachoa, Bacopa

Mums are heavy feeders that respond well to additional magnesium, sulfur and iron. Many times though, the iron becomes unavailable as the pH rises.
