Osmocote Flower & Vegetable Plant Food

Osmocote Smart-Release Plant Food Flower and Vegetables have a high total nutrient content (14-14-14). These numbers stand for the nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium content in the feed, which contributes to foliage growth, root flower, fruit development, and overall plant function. The unique resin coating reacts at relatively low soil temperatures to give plants an early-season start but also continues to release nutrients throughout the entire season because Osmocote Flower and Vegetable feed plants up to 4 months. This formula is favored for seasonal vegetables and perennials because it promotes strong roots and bountiful and vigorous above-ground growth.

Osmocote Flower and Vegetable feeds for the entire growing season and can be used with edible plants such as tomatoes and peppers, carrots, onions and beans, flowering transplants, flowering or fruiting trees or shrubs, and bulbs. Measure the proper amount of fertilizer, mix into the top 1 to 3 inches of soil, water regularly and reapply in another four months. The amount applied is relative to the size and type of plant. For tomatoes and peppers, 1 1/2 capfuls (equivalent to 3 Tablespoons) is best in 4 square feet. Carrots, onions, and beans should have one capful applied per 10-foot garden row. Flowering transplants use 1 Teaspoon per 4-inch plant. Trees and shrubs receive one capful for every 2 feet of branch spread, and bulbs should be planted with 1/2 Teaspoon each. This 2-pound plastic bottle comes with a plastic measuring cup, instructions on the package, and a shaker-style top (for easy application). Osmocote Flower and Vegetable in a 2-pound bottle cover up to 80 square feet.
