is it too late in the season to fertilize blooming impatiens and flowering vines.

Hi Susie,

It is not too late to fertilize impatiens, as they are ever-blooming. The soil is cold in the winter, though, and plants are growing more slowly, so you can feed them now and then wait a month or two before feeding them again. As for flowering vines, what type of vines?

thanks for getting back to me. Mandevilla red riding hood vine

It is best to wait until late winter to fertilizer mandevilla--so start fertilizing the plant monthly in March through September.
