Vitax Azalea, Rhododendron & Shrub Feed (900g)

An organic-based feed with added iron for use with acid loving plants including Azaleas, Rhododendrons, Heathers, Conifers, Magnolias, Skimmias, Camelias, Berberis, Hydrangeas, Raspberries and blueberries.This fertiliser is ideal for ericaceous plants, helping them to thrive in both neutral and acid soils, producing bigger blooms, greener leaves and robust plants.

Make sure that you keep them regularly watered during the first two growing seasons to help plant establishment.Application rate:For established plantsSprinkle pellets evenly at the base of the plant at a rate of 30g per square metre and lightly incorporate into the soil - watering if the soil is dry.Feed twice during the year, with the first application in March or April when growth starts and the second at first flowering.For new plantsSprinkle pellets evenly at the base of the plant at a rate of 30g per square metre and light incorporate into the soil - watering if the soil is dry.
