Query: What is the Best Fertilizer for my Anemone Fantasy 'Red Riding Hood' Plant?
Context: We recommend feeding your Anemone Honorine Jobert in early spring and again in mid-summer after all new growth has hardened off- and it begins to set flower buds. Espoma Bio-tone starter fertilizer is the best product to use at the time of planting. Our ideal fertilizer schedule for you to use is as follows. In the early spring, apply a fertilizer like Espoma Plant-Tone at the recommended rate. Doing so will give your plant a boost of nitrogen potash for healthy foliage and stem growth. Follow this up with an early summer application of Espoma Flower-Tone. Doing so will again provide the necessary nutrients to promote a flush of beautiful flowers. Espoma products are easy to use; sprinkle around the base of the plant and water it in. Be careful with products such as miracle-grow, as these products can burn newly planted plants when not used at the recommended rates. Slow-release fertilizer can help prevent rapid soft growth that is vulnerable to diseases and insects.
