As expected. Makes flowers.
My wife wanted a mix to help with flowers. This year was better than the last few, so it seems to have worked.

Saved my petunia hanging baskets!
Growing and maintaining plants in Wyoming is challenging given extreme temperature changes and a short growing season. Yearly, I buy two petunia hanging baskets for my front porch but they typically only last about 2 months due to them becoming leggy and eventually drying up and losing blooms. This year I decided to do some research to see what I was doing wrong and how I could help to extend their lives. This product came highly recommended on several gardening sites and nursery you tube channels so I decided to give it a shot!Before using the mix, I cut about 6-8 inches off each of the petunia stems. This cut most of my blooms but they were looking leggy and bad anyway. I also learned that when deadheading petunias (which you should do!), to pinch or cut the entire bloom, not just pulling the flower out of it's holding place. Once the whole flower is removed (including it's green base), the plant will begin shooting up new blooms. I used one scoop of Petunia Feed in one gallon of water (just kept an old gallon milk container under my sink for easy measuring and filling) and split the gallon of water between my two hanging pots. I used the mix once a week and maintained my normal watering schedule. It took about 2 weeks for my petunia plants to grow and produce new blooms. When they did, I was so excited because they looked as good as when I bought them 2 months before! Fertilizing and deadheading/cutting tops definitely did the trick.I actually got so confident (and lazy) that I stopped using the fertilizer for a few weeks. Once again, my plants became leggy and weren't filling out in the middle of the pot. This was proof that the fertilizer was the key to keeping them healthy and full. I cut and returned to the weekly fertilization schedule and they're filling out and looking great again - long after plants in the past have lost their lives.I also used the fertilizer in my large patio pots and it really helped my flowers to rebloom and maintain their fullness and greenery. It also helped other flowers in those pots to have several rounds of blooms when previous summers I only got 1-2.This Petunia Feed is well worth it's price and the container provides enough feed for several pots all summer long. I have used it on 2 hanging plants, 2 small pots, and 5 huge patio pots for about 1.5 months and there's still about the container left. I will continue to buy for seasons to come!1st photo: when I cut them down and began Petunia Feed2nd photo: 2 weeks after feed3rd photo: potted plants 1 week after feed

It works!
It definitely works! I plant petunias on the railing of my deck every year. In May, the blooms are great, but the blooms generally fade by June. I didn't realize I could control that with a fertilizer. I was shocked to see how fast this worked. The two photos were taken about 2 weeks apart. I've never had this many blooms before.

Works well.

Product is tried and tested
I have used before so the product is as expected. The only issue I have is that there is no measurement scoop included (which there is normally). I use this on my pansies and it really feeds them and helps with blooms.

Awesome blooms.
I bought this last 2023 year and had great luck but thought it was just that luck. So this year I kept track of it and 5 days ago I trimmed my petunias and used Jacks and WOW! They are full and vibrant. I have 10 plus pots with different petunia and pansies these are just a few but ALL are looking amazing. I’m a lifer!

Buy this!
This is amazing flower fertilizer! I've use Miracle Grow in the past, but this is much better. Along with regular pruning, this fertilizer keeps the blooms fresh and growing! Says it's for petunias, but I also use it for all of my flowering plants.
