🌷 Raised Beds Flowers Next-Season Strengthener Fertilizer for Bulb Plants (2-8-12)

Enhance your garden's vitality with Raised Beds Flowers Next-Season Strengthener Fertilizer, designed specifically for flowering bulbs. Featuring a phosphorus- and potassium-rich 2-8-12 NPK ratio, this premium blend promotes robust root development, vibrant spring blooms, and enhanced stress resistance.

Ideal for tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, and more, this formula prepares your bulb plants for their next growth cycle when applied in fall or early spring.

🌿 Why Choose a 2-8-12 Formula?

• Nitrogen (2%) – Low nitrogen minimizes excess leaf growth, focusing energy on roots and blooms.

• Phosphorus (8%) – Fuels strong root development and helps establish bulbs for spring.

• Potassium (12%) – Supports flowering, boosts resilience, and improves overall plant health.

🕒 When to Apply

• Primary Application: Apply in fall, right after the flowering cycle ends.

• Optional Spring Boost: Apply again in early spring, before new shoots appear, to support spring development.

🌱 How to Apply

🔸 In-Ground Beds:

• 1–2 pounds per 100 sq ft, broadcast and gently rake into the top 2–3 inches of soil.

🔸 Raised Beds:

• Use 0.5–1 pound per 50 sq ft depending on existing fertility. Raised beds may require less due to better drainage.

🔸 Containers:

• Apply 1 tablespoon per 12-inch pot; adjust for larger sizes proportionally.

💧 Watering:

• Always water deeply after application to help nutrients dissolve and reach the bulb zone.

• Avoid fertilizing dry soil—moisture helps prevent root burn.

🌡️ Soil & Climate Tips

• Apply when soil temperatures are between 40°F–60°F (4°C–15°C) — ideal for bulb root establishment.

• Do not fertilize during freezing conditions or immediately before heavy rainfall.
