__Abstract__ Advertisers have been always selling fertilizer to increase flower growth, but is growing a flower with fertilizer better than growing a flower naturally? This project looks at what does the fertilizer do to the flowers and if types of flowers affect the speed of growth. The flowers were planted in flower pots, three of the pots had fertilizer, and the other three pots did not (independent variable). Sunflowers, marigolds, and morning glories were planted in a fertilized pot and a regular pot. Each day, all six flowers were watered and each day the flowers grew taller and bigger out in the sun (dependent variable). My hypothesis was that the sunflower with fertilizer will grow the fastest between fertilized flowers, and the sunflower without fertilizer will grow the fastest for non-fertilized waters. The experimental results supported my hypothesis because showed that the fertilized sunflower and the non-fertilized sunflower grew the fastest. The experiment showed that the type of flowers do affect the speed of growth and also the fertilizer.
