Osmocote Flower & Vegetable has a high total nutrient content (NPK 14-14-14). Nutrients are released at a soil temperature of 45? to give plants an early season start. This formula is favored for seasonal vegetables and perennials because it promotes strong roots as well as bountiful and vigorous above-ground growth. The balanced formula promotes consistent top-growth and strong root development, which makes it ideal for perennials and vegetable gardens. Each granule is coated with a unique resin that controls nutritional release so that plants get what they need, when they need it. All-in-one granules contain all three major nutrients (NPK) that are vital to plant nutrition.
