Don’t Forget to Fertilize These Plants in April – For Bountiful Displays and Bigger Blooms

Flowers in bloom in a cottage garden border.

Fertilizing in April is one of the most helpful things you can do for plants. As spring is a time of rapid growth across the garden, feeding plants gives trees, shrubs, and perennials a beneficial boost at a key time in the season.

Shrubs, perennials, fruits, and container plants will thank you for providing them with that vital dose of nutrients by fertilizing this month. It’ll help them grow strongly and have the energy to produce foliage and flowers in the coming weeks and months. Your TLC is more than repaid with a stunning display.
