Sorry, for not being more clear initially! I really shouldn’t post when I’m sleepy. : )
Even so, it’s interesting to know that Osmocote can explode when it becomes too hot. There’s little chance of that here, unless global warming significantly changes the climate quickly. For what it’s worth, because of Fred’s or Lyle’s (or maybe it was Bob Selman’s) recommendation, when I was starting out with daylilies I searched the box stores and local nurseries, trying to find Nutricote. As far as I could tell it’s not even sold in this area, which is why I ended up using Osmocote. Good to know that we’re being protected from our own lack of knowledge. : )
