The Levington Tomorite Concentrated Tomato Food isn't just great for growing juicy tomatoes, it can be used on your hydrangeas too.
"It is ideal for tomatoes, vegetables and flowering pot plants and produces top quality, full flavoured tomatoes.
"Our seaweed comes from a sustainable source in the Nordic region and is collected without damaging the environment," the product description reads.
And it has almost a perfect five star rating on Tesco's website too.
One happy shopper said: "Really good concentrated food I use for all my flowers and shrubs, they love it!
"Good value for money a little goes a long way, easy to mix in the watering can too and easy to store once opened. Bottle can be recycled too. Good price."
So, why is it especially good for your hydrangeas?
These flowers often struggle to bloom due to undesirable weather temperatures, as well as being planted in the shade and lack of pruning.
Another possibility, according to the pros at Home Digest, another may be you need to fertilize your plants.
"One way to remedy that particular issue is to consider using Tomorite to encourage new growth, but only if you've considered certain factors such as the age of your hydrangeas, the timing of application, and the amount that should be used," they explained.
Peter O'Mahony shares gardening update 'I've been planning for years' on Instagram
What is Tomortie?
Tomorite is different from other fertilizers because it "contains an unbalanced ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium — having a particularly increased potassium level," the garden pro explained.
Because hydrangeas need a lot of potassium to create large blooms, Tomorite can give the extra nutrients it needs.
Before using it on your hydrangeas, you should consider if your plant is fully established, it's also best to apply Tomorite during the summer months when your plant is growing.
Simply water the soil surrounding the plant, and make sure to avoid getting any of the solution on leaves as this could lead to fungal diseases.
As always, be sure to follow the instruction on the bottle for the best results.

Savvy Paris Fury shares cash-saver for families eating out this summer – despite raking in £200k a year without Tyson
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PARIS Fury has shared a little-known way parents can save cash this summer. So if your purse is feeling tighter than ever before but you're desperate to eat out with your kids, you'll be pleased to know that you've come to the right place. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Mum-of-seven Paris Fury has shared a simple way she saves cash during the school holidays Credit: Instagram 4 So if you want to eat out and not have to spend a fortune, you'll need to listen up to Paris' simple hack Credit: Instagram 4 Paris recently tied the knot to her husband Tyson for the third time Credit: Instagram @tysonfury 4 Despite a weekly paycheck of almost £4,000, she often shares ways to save cash online Credit: instagram/@parisfury1/ Despite her weekly paycheck of £3,800, this mum-of-seven is often on the hunt for ways to pocket pounds. The blonde beauty, who often does her food shopping in Asda, has taken to social media to reveal how she goes out for lunch with her little darlings without breaking the bank. Posting on her Instagram stories, the 35-year-old, who has a down to earth personality and is fiercely loyal, uploaded a sweet snap alongside her three daughters whilst at Yo Sushi. As Paris smiled alongside Venezuela, 15, Valencia, seven, and Athena, four, alongside the post, the influencer, who recently tied the knot for the third time to retired heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury, 37, penned: 'Just for the parents on my gram - kids eat free here when you eat [sushi emoji].' The mother, who is said to have a secret wealth that is nothing to do with the Gypsy King's £100million fortune, then added: 'Good to know in school hols.' Parents looking to save cash when dining out are sure to be overjoyed to know that popular chain Yo Sushi on a mission to 'take the pressure off family weekday dinners and give the kids something to smile about this school holiday.' During the school holiday dates, kids can eat free all day in Yo Sushi restaurants when dining with a full-paying adult. While mums and dads can enjoy sushi and Japanese hot favourites, your little ones can tuck into one of their kiddo bento boxes absolutely free of charge. Foodies should know that there is a minimum spend of £10. Despite lucrative brand deals and Paris' secret private company, Paris Fury LTD, having recorded a yearly profit of almost £200,000, this isn't the first time this mother, who previously described herself as a 'DIY queen,' shared a relatable insight into her life. Inside mum-of-seven Paris Fury's glam bank holiday weekend away from the kids - from travelling in a private jet to night out partying with Tyson She may live in a 'golden' £1.7million Morecambe mansion and have a £90,000 designer stash with Chanel handbags in every shade, but much like her most recent Instagram post, it appears that Paris continues to be famous for her down-to-earth attitude and bargain hunting antics. As well as saving cash by ensuring her kids eat out for free, we've also seen the star do her clothes shopping in Primark. Inside Tyson and Paris Fury's love story WITH world champ titles, multiple kids and a beautiful wife by his side, Tyson is much-loved by the nation, but his romance with Paris dates back to their teenage years. Paris met Fury when she was just 15 at a mutual friend's wedding. However, it wasn't until a year later, when their paths crossed again on a night out in Doncaster for her 16th birthday, that they began dating. Paris explained: "He was my first boyfriend as I was not allowed a boyfriend until the age of 16. He is the only boyfriend I have had. 'Tyson would train in boxing during the week and then come and see me at the weekend. I would always be so excited at the thought of seeing him.' In 2008, they tied the knot in front of 400 guests and slept together for the first time on the night of their wedding. In 2016, Fury's mental health issues, cocaine and alcohol abuse, and intolerable mood swings threatened their seemingly unbreakable marriage. On occasion, Paris would even contemplate leaving - packing her bags and getting into her car. However, she'd just stop herself - admitting she couldn't leave Tyson to "crash and burn". Not only this, but she's also proud to have an affordable high street edit with New Look and she's certainly not one to shy away from bargains in B&M. According to Paris, a down-to-earth attitude helps keep her children grounded - and she wants to set a humble example for them. She revealed on the family's Netflix series: 'None of my kids are really the type to say, 'I want this, I want that'. We don't want the kids to grow up spoiled and not knowing the value of something Paris Fury 'Not to sound big-headed, but obviously, if I wanted to go tomorrow and shop out Selfridges' floor, I could do. 'But what am I gonna teach the kids doing that? 'To go and buy five designer handbags, 10 pairs of shoes, diamonds and pearls, what have the kids got to look forward to in life then? 'We don't want the kids to grow up spoiled and not knowing the value of something.' Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club

Having a barbecue? Here are the best bottles to serve
M uch as I think that prescriptive food and wine rules are made to be broken, it's madness to serve any old wine with your barbecue and expect it to work. Forget wishy-washy whites, feeble pinks and skinny, unoaked, lower-alcohol reds and go for turbo-charged bottles with plenty of alcohol and attitude. With so many flavours piled high on your plate, it's a waste of money spending more than a tenner on your barbecue bottle, and braai-mad South Africa is the perfect source of these good-value tub-thumpers to go with meaty dishes. Check out Stellenrust, founded in 1928 and one of the largest family-owned estates in the country. It has made a cracking range of own-label pinotage for Tesco, including the vegan-approved, just-landed 2024 Finest Stellenbosch Pinotage, see star buys. Over at Waitrose until Tuesday you can nab one of South Africa's greats, none other than Kanonkop's dark, dusky, bramble-stashed 2023 Kanonkop Kadette Pinotage at £10, down from £14, with the sort of dreamy, velvety fruit that your guests will want endless top-ups of.
