Gardeners Advantage Bulb Food 1kg | Fast & Slow Release Bulb Fertiliser

Give your bulbs a strong start with Gardeners Advantage Long Lasting Bulb Fertiliser, a specially prepared blend of fast and slow release fertilisers designed to support bulbs from planting time through to flowering.

This bulb fertiliser is made to provide steady nutrition while bulbs establish, grow and prepare to flower. It is suitable for use with many common flowering bulbs grown in garden beds, pots and containers.

The blend omits potassium, as a healthy bulb already stores what it needs to produce a beautiful flower. For best results, a second application at flowering time can help assist bulb recovery and support healthy bulbs for the following year.

This 1kg pack is a handy size for home gardeners planting seasonal bulb displays, mixed bulb collections, pots, borders and garden beds.
