What flower fertilizer do you like best?

[Lilysmom]

@goldensrbest, I use miracle grow for perennials.  Seemed to get the job done for me.  For flowering shrubs, I use specific fertilizers for rhinos, hydrangeas, etc.  LM

I like Miracle Grow potting soil and Roberta's Flower Magic. I always plant Sun Patience and they explode with growth and color.

I use Miracle Gro’s Bloom Buster for all my flowering plants.

I don't do gardening anymore as we live in Florida .. when I lived

up Nor.th ...i used Fish Immulsion ..nasty stuff .. but it worked great ....

I use Espoma Plant Tone & use it 1X/year. For flowering annuals I would use either Osmocote or a Miracle Gro sprinkled 1X/ during their growing season.

I use MiracleGro potting soil and Root Blast.

Any kind of generic fertilizer with high nitrogen, like a 30-10-10 or even higher on the nitrogen.

The 2nd number is for blooms. The higher the nitrogen, the more the plant will put out foliage.

I just use Miracle-Gro. I use the small end of the spoon in a two gallon watering can each watering with good results. Here's a photo of my front porch from last September.

 

As you can see, it works pretty well.
