Choose a balanced fertilizer with equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Apply in early spring as new growth appears, following package instructions.
Water the plants before and after applying fertilizer to help nutrients reach the roots. Avoid over-fertilizing, as it can harm the plants.
Consider using organic fertilizers like compost or manure for a more natural approach. These can improve soil structure and long-term plant health.
Monitor the plants for signs of nutrient deficiencies such as yellowing leaves or stunted growth. Adjust fertilizer application as needed.
Some perennials may benefit from a second round of fertilizer in mid-summer to support blooming. Always read labels and follow guidelines.
Regular fertilization can promote vigorous growth and abundant blooms in your perennial flower garden. Enjoy a colorful and thriving landscape with proper care.
