When I purchased daylilies from A Windsong Nursery last year they sent 3 samples of fertilizer which I then purchased because they said they would bloom so much better and would hold the color better. This is what I purchased:
21-5-21 to apply in Spring for plant growth and leaf enhancement
10-52-10 to apply in Summer to increase number, size, quality and maximum color of blooms
20-20-20 to apply in Fall to produce superior plant growth, with stronger & taller plants while increasing number, size, quality and maximize color of blooms
Last Fall after planting them I used the 20-20-20. Then this Spring I used the 21-5-21. The first bloom opened and the color was very faded, not even close to what I thought I was getting, and when I called they said I should quit using the fertilizers if the temps were above 85 F because the colors would not be as bright. The temps were already above 85 F.
Before I use any of these fertilizers again, has anyone else used them and what is your experience, and the best timing for each one if you know? Thanks.
