Thanks, Dot, for the heads-up about Nutricote being sold as Dynamite at Home Depot! : ) I'll look out for it, but am also taking Bobbi's warning to heart about Osmocote being more appropriate for 'northern gardeners.' (Trying to decide which type of garden I have is pretty weird. : ) There are never more than a handful of days with a couple hours per night of freezing temps in December, which automatically makes my zone seem far more southerly than it actually is. The actual growing season is relatively cool.)
Right now, I'm more concerned about how much of the Osmocote gets used by the potted daylilies in my growing season. I only re-pot when a daylily clearly needs to be divided. But, it might be a good idea to tackle all of the pots this season, if for no other reason than to put my mind to rest! : )
All the best - Elizabete
