So you've planted your flowers, you're watching them grow--now what? What you feed your plants makes ALL the difference to your success this summer, and for all of the annuals and hanging baskets we sell, we ONLY recommend feeding with Jack's Classic fertilizers from JR Peters, Inc. , the undisputed best fertilizer for flowers on the market. We use Jack's in our own growing here at the nursery and recommend feeding once a week, alternating between All Purpose for plant growth and Blossom Booster for bigger, brighter blooms.
