Down To Earth Rose & Flower Mix 4-8-4 | 15lb - 3pk of 5lb

Phosphorus-Forward Feed for Bulbs, Roses, Annuals, and Perennials, 15lb-3pk

Bloom quantity and size respond directly to phosphorus availability, and a standard balanced fertilizer doesn't always supply enough of it to push a rose or bulb planting toward its best flowering season. Down To Earth Rose & Flower Mix 4-8-4 leans its NPK ratio toward phosphorus relative to nitrogen and potassium, while still providing enough of both to support healthy vegetative growth and overall plant vigor.

Sold as three individual 5lb bags totaling 15lb, this option is convenient for home gardeners with larger rose beds, perennial borders, or mixed flower gardens applying Rose & Flower Mix through the growing season.

Key Features & Benefits

• 4-8-4 NPK ratio — the higher phosphorus level supports bloom development while nitrogen and potassium cover growth and plant health.
• Supports bloom development — extra phosphorus is directed at bloom quantity, bloom size, and overall flower quality.
• For bulbs, annuals, and perennials — suited to a wide range of flowering plants beyond roses alone.
• Potassium and trace elements — supplies additional nutrients for healthy plant stock through the season.

Who Should Use Down To Earth Rose & Flower Mix 4-8-4

Frequently Asked Questions

What plants can Rose & Flower Mix 4-8-4 be used on?

It's suited to bulbs, annuals, and perennials as well as roses. Any flowering plant that benefits from a phosphorus-oriented fertilizer during the growing and bloom season is a reasonable fit.

Why does Rose & Flower Mix carry more phosphorus than nitrogen or potassium?

The 8% phosphorus level relative to 4% nitrogen and 4% potassium is aimed at bloom development, since phosphorus plays a key role in bud set and flower size during the reproductive phase of growth. Nitrogen and potassium are still present at levels meant to keep vegetative growth and overall plant health on track.

When should Rose & Flower Mix 4-8-4 be applied?

It can be applied throughout the growing season to support both vegetative growth and bloom development, rather than as a single one-time feeding. Rates and timing vary by plant type, so check the current label before applying to a new species.

Is Rose & Flower Mix 4-8-4 OMRI Listed?

OMRI Listing on this formula depends on the specific package size. The 25lb size in this lineup carries OMRI Listing, while the 15lb three-pack and 1lb case size do not, so check the current product label for the size you're using.

Can Rose & Flower Mix be used on container-grown flowering plants?

Yes, it works for both in-ground and container-grown flowering plants. Follow the current label for rates appropriate to container growing, which typically differ from in-ground rates.
