Bulb Fertilizer

Once weekly through the growing season, using 1 Tbs per gallon for bulbs under 6 inches and 2 Tbs per gallon for larger bulbs. Steady weekly feeding through and after bloom matters most — that's when the bulb rebuilds its reserves for next year.

At 1 tsp per quart, the 8 oz bottle makes about 48 watering cans of feed. For a typical shelf of 10–15 plants fed every 1–2 weeks in season, that's several months of feeding — and the 32 oz bottle four times that.

Yes — this is the most important window. After blooming, the bulb pulls energy back down through the leaves to recharge for next season. Keep feeding weekly until the foliage yellows naturally, and don't cut leaves back early — that's how bulbs come back stronger rather than fading out.

Begin as growth emerges in the season — early spring for spring bloomers, at planting or sprouting for summer bulbs like dahlias and gladiolus. Feeding through the whole growing season, not just at bloom, is what builds the bulb for the following year.

No — at the directed dilution, the formula is designed for regular use. All-nitrate nitrogen and low salt concentration make burn very unlikely around tender bulb roots. For newly planted bulbs, the standard rate is fine; there's no need to hold back.

Yes. Summer bulbs and tubers like dahlias, lilies, gladiolus, and amaryllis have the same bloom-and-recharge cycle as spring bulbs — feed them weekly through their growing season at the rate for their size.

Stem strength and bloom quality show in the current season's flowers. The bigger payoff is the following year — bulbs fed consistently through and after bloom store more energy and come back with more and larger flowers.
