Slow-release fertilizer in the pot does help. In the photos of petunias, verbena, and lantana the pot which received the slow release grew for about the first month and stayed in flower looking relatively good. As the summer wore on and they were watered every day with just hose well water, that slow release gave out and did not carry that pot through the entire summer.

The clear water/no fertilizer pots really struggled, with varieties like petunias and verbena turning almost completely yellow and not flowering within a month of planting.
