Acid Loving Plant Food for Azalea, Jasmine, Roses, Camellias, Gardenias NutriStar 9-13-11 (2 lb.)

This NutriStar fertilizer formulation is primarily designed for azaleas, camellias, gardenias, and other acid-loving plants that thrive in acidic environments. It contains a blend of organic and man-made nutrients that work to lower the soil's pH factor and provide essential iron. The fertilizer includes ureaform, monoammonium phosphate, sulfur, potassium sulfate, cottonseed meal, iron oxysulfate, and ferrous sulfate, providing three types of iron and four acidifying sources. The nitrogen sources are microbial and slow-release, ensuring that root burn is avoided.

With this special blend, additional soil amendments typically required for azaleas are not necessary. With continued use of NutriStar plant food, your azaleas should experience progressive, healthy growth and enhanced beauty with each passing season. This fertilizer is also great for a variety of other acid-loving plants, including camellias, gardenias, magnolias, dogwoods, ferns, red bud, jasmines, hydrangea, and caladiums.

The NutriStar plant food features a balanced (NPK) ratio of Nitrogen (9%), Phosphate (13%), and Soluble Potash (11%). The four acidifying sources work to lower the soil's pH, creating an ideal growing environment. The three sources of nitrogen promote green-up and prevent root burn, while the three sources of iron (3.2%) ensure plant health, deep, and dark green leaves. The cottonseed (20%) component provides slow and consistent nourishment for the plants.

This fertilizer is an excellent choice for in-ground and container-grown, flowering, acid-loving plants, including, but not limited to, azaleas, camellias, gardenias, magnolias, dogwoods, ferns, red bud, jasmines, hydrangea, caladiums, roses, evergreen shrubs, flowering trees, and evergreens. It helps these plants improve their tolerance to dry weather conditions, promotes heavy flowering, and increases the size and strength of the plants.

For best results, apply NutriStar at the beginning of spring and then every other month during the growing season. The fertilizer works with the soil and soil biology to provide your plants with the optimal nutrition at the right time and in the right amount. This ensures an immediate boost upon application, as well as lasting benefits that continue to feed your plants.
