Azalea, Rhododendron & Shrub Fertiliser 900 g pouch is a balanced plant food designed to meet the specific nutritional needs of acid-loving plants and shrubs. This specially formulated fertiliser supplies essential nutrients that help promote vigorous root development, healthy leafy growth and enhanced flowering performance in azaleas, rhododendrons and other ornamental shrubs.
The granules are simple to apply and can be gently worked into the soil around the base of plants, allowing nutrients to be released where roots can absorb them most effectively. Ideal for use at planting and as part of a seasonal feeding programme, this fertiliser helps improve soil fertility and supports long-term plant vitality. Regular application helps shrubs maintain lush foliage and vibrant blooms throughout the growing season.
Whether used in beds, borders or containers, this shrub fertiliser offers an effective way to nurture acid-loving plants and enhance the overall beauty of your garden.

For Established Plants
Sprinkle pellets evenly at the base of the plant at a rate of 30 g/m2. Lightly incorporate into the soil. If soil is dry water in. Feed twice: First application should be carried out at the start of the growing season (March/April). Repeat the application at first flowering.
For New Plants
Sprinkle pellets evenly around the base of the plant at a rate of 30g/m2.Lightly incorporate into the soil. If soil is dry water in, preferably using soft or rain water.
For Chalky Soils and Plants with Yellowing Leaves
Alkaline and chalky soils are not suitable for growing acid loving plants such as Azaleas and Camellias. Alkaline soils lack available iron, an essential nutrient for acid loving plants, which is locked up by the soil’s high pH. By incorporating Vitax Azalea, Rhododendron and Shrub Fertiliser, together with moss peat or other acidic soil supplements, the plants will be provided with iron and the soil pH reduced allowing essential nutrients to be released for plant uptake.
Regular use of Vitax Azalea, Rhododendron and Shrub Fertiliser, supplemented with applications of Seaweed plus Iron will help growing conditions. Apply at 40 g/m2 and repeat one month after first application. Water in using rain water in hard water areas.
