Petunia dying

We have some petunias that are one day alive and the next day dead. This has happened with the ones we bought at local nurseries for home use,and ones we use in our commercial accounts that are bought from large growers. This is the first year it has happened. Spring Weather?

Hi Chuck, I really can't elaborate on a possible cause with your descritption. Even in rainy seasons plants take several days to die. You may want to take a sample to your local Extension office. Please use this website to find the office nearest you. http://web.extension.uiuc.edu/state/findoffice.html or send a sample to the UI plant clinic. here is their website. http://plantclinic.cropsci.uiuc.edu/ Hope this helps in your quest. Sandy
