Hello Eldon,

I don't use fertilizer in our gardens for anything...
I just add compost (which has plenty of nutrients) to the existing soil and mix it in well.
Check out my thread I started called "Another trip back from one of our local nurseries" and you'll see some pics of how big and tall our Black and Blue Salvia got...

Eldon,
I usually don't fertilize nursery grown plants that I buy except for when I first transplant them from the pot into the ground. Like Susan Louise I also use compost around the plants. If I do use fertilizer, I use 1 teaspoon of miracle grow in 2 gallons of water. If the plants are doing well right now I would leave them alone until you get ready to plant them
