Deadheading and feeding made a difference for my petunias. Flowers in containers use up nutrients faster than garden beds. A little regular fertilizer keeps them going.
Hanging baskets dry out fast, sometimes daily in hot weather. A quick splash is not enough. Water until it drains from the bottom, and check again on windy days.
