Osmocote Blend 18-5-12 5-6mo. Fertilizer Enhanced with QuickStart Nutrients | 50lb (40/PL)

QuickStart Nursery and Landscape Blend for Standard Feeding, 5-6 Month

A standard-length container or flower bed planting cycle still benefits from an early establishment push, but doesn't need feeding to stretch as far as an extended-season landscape planting. Osmocote Blend 18-5-12 works great in container-grown nursery plants and is commonly used in landscape containers and flower beds, pairing a QuickStart component with resin-coated slow-release cores.

Packaged as a 50lb bag, 40 per pallet, 5-6 month release.

About Osmocote Blend 18-5-12

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does this fertilizer feed for, and how does it work?

The 100% resin-coated nutrient cores take in moisture and slowly feed the plants for up to 6 months, releasing gradually rather than all at once. That gradual uptake-and-release mechanism is what gives it its 5-6 month labeled duration.

What does the QuickStart component do?

QuickStart helps newly planted beds and containers establish and fill in quickly, giving young plantings an early boost before the resin-coated cores settle into their steady release phase. That combination covers both the establishment period and the longer feeding window.

Where is this blend most commonly used?

It works great in container-grown nursery plants and is commonly used in landscape containers and flower beds. That combination of nursery and landscape use makes it a versatile base feed across both settings.

What micronutrients round out this formula?

STEP Hi-Mag micronutrients are blended into this formula, supplying elevated magnesium and trace elements alongside the 18-5-12 N-P-K ratio. That inclusion means growers don't need a separate micronutrient supplement alongside this blend.

What size and packaging is this listing?

This listing ships as a 50lb bag, 40 per pallet, sized to its 5-6 month release window. That volume suits commercial nursery and landscape container programs.
