An organic-based feed with added iron for use with acid loving plants including 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. In alkaline soils or where hard water is used for irrigation, yellowing of the leaves may occur caused by lack of available iron, and this feed will help alleviate the problem. Newly planted azaleas and Rhododendrons can benefit from a light dressing of fertiliser in early March after flowering. Make sure that you keep them regularly watered during the first two growing seasons to help plant establishment. Application rate: Note 1 small gloved handful contains approx. 30g For established plants Sprinkle 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. For Chalky/Alkaline soils Plants grown in these soils will typically develop yellow leaves, especially between veins. By adding Vitax Azalea, Rhododendron and Shrub fertiliser along with additional soil supplements to acidify the soil, plants will be provided with essential nutrients.
A simple to use and tried and tested general purpose Organic Rose & Shrub fertiliser, for top dressing existing plants or digging in to the planting hole of newly planted bushes. It can be applied in spring and summer, as new growth starts, or when flowers go over, spread around the base of shrubs and roses (wash hands after use or wear gloves), or dig in as per label instructions when planting new shrubs and roses. It can also be used on any plants too for a soft and gentle general feed boost - being organic it's very hard to over-dose, and safe for children and pets once watered in.
There really is something special and iconic about English Shrub Roses, which is the term for the old-fashioned type of classic rose with a very filled centre, their petals making the most remarkable patterns. New breeding over many years has made them much easier to grow in all gardens - big or small - either in larger pots or in borders and beds. This variety has been bred to have both a good fragrance, and superb disease resistance - not always possible with roses, but our growers have managed it! Best of all it is a repeat flowerer, and will bloom for 4-5 months with little dead-heading, although you may wish to keep them tidy. It's a little more vigorous and less formal than Hybrid Tea Roses, so mix them in with other shrubs in borders too. Supplied as 1 bare root plant, trimmed back to 30-35cm, dormant without leaves, to plant November to April.
