    A:  Osmocote Smart-Release Plant Food Plus Outdoor and Indoor can be used around all ornamentals. King Protea Pink ice plant thrive in inferior soils and may not need fertilized. If needed use a fertilizer with almost no phosphorus and low potassium.

        Q:Can this be used on azalea, lilac, buddleia, weigela, and all annuals?

        A:  Honestly I don’t know. I use it to fertilize iris when I thin out and transplant them. Also in the fall, I use it to fertilize the iris plants that I dont transplant. This product works very well and made the difference between success and failure with getting my iris to grow. Apparently its the bone meal in the product that is the magic.

                A:  Yes it can. I use it on all of my potted plants and bonsai. This is recommended to me by a horticulturist and bonsai master. For using in ground you will want to mix into the top soil. However, for azaleas and other plants with feeder roots that stay close to the top soil. Only sprinkle on top of the soil. Note that the fertilizer will only release at 70 degrees F and above. It’s slow release makes it harder to burn the roots.

                  Easy to use container for shaking/ measuring out needed food. The idea of not having to fertilize every 2-weeks is a real plus. Purchased plenty to use when my ordered on-line flower perennials arrive in April.
