Best Add-On for New Plants

If you are ordering new plants, consider adding a starter fertilizer, rooting product, or slow-release fertilizer. These are easy to use at planting time and can help your plants establish with less stress.

Best for Existing Gardens

For established plants, choose a fertilizer based on what you are growing. Use tree and shrub fertilizer for landscape plants, tomato and vegetable fertilizer for edible gardens, and specialty fertilizers for plants with specific needs.

Understanding Fertilizer Numbers

Most fertilizers list three numbers on the package, often called the N-P-K ratio. These numbers represent nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Each nutrient supports a different part of plant growth.

N = Nitrogen

Supports leafy, green growth.

P = Phosphorus

Supports roots, flowers, and fruiting.

K = Potassium

Supports overall plant strength and stress tolerance.

Fertilizer Tip Before You Check Out

Match your fertilizer to the plants in your cart. New shrubs and trees may benefit from starter or tree and shrub fertilizer, while tomatoes, vegetables, berries, and fruiting plants usually perform best with plant food made for edible gardens.
