Petunia flowers have Botrytis
 

Noticed spots on the flowers,looked it up and found pictures of what it is, white spots all over the red blooms.Is there a household item I can treat this with?I gave it a weak fertilizer of Miracle Grow for flowers.Our daughter gave my wife a hanging basket of petunias and I noticed this right away.At first I thought it was old flowers and dead headed the plant but now all the flowers are getting it a day or two after flowering.

they will be okay. when we have a few cool nights the moisture on the flowers gives growth to the ruined blossoms. just go over the WHOLE basket and pinch off each and every flower and in atwo or three days you will never know it had it.

That's exactly what I have been doing. I have it hanging next to my hummingbird feeder since it's a red petunia.Thanks,should get my tiller tomorrow and plants planted in my garden.Way to much rain the past week and it's very wet

Personally, if you have tomatoes, I would get rid of it ASAP
