Anemic Petunias

Wow, something has sucked the color right out of my petunias. I am not horribly bothered by this - they have an antique faded quality that I kind of like. But I would sure like to know what has done this to them. Have researched it and the two culprits seem to be heat and soil ph. Since it has been really cool, I am leaning towards ph. Also, I fertilized with regular old Miracle Grow about 2 weeks ago.

Next summer I will run experiments with different types of plant food in different pots of the same color! Will produce a lab report when I have finalized the results....
 
The really exciting news is that Ramona is covered it little buds. I think she is actually going to do it and have a fall explosion despite her war of attrition with the Heuchera! Yippppeeeeee!!!!!
