Wow, awesome info. I have started my first-ever application of Osmocote (once in November, once a couple of days ago) and I see even my dormants suddenly peeked their fan leaves out of the dirt to break their winter hibernation! (We're at about mid-60's day/mid-40s to near 50 overnight now.)
I'm sold - at least on doing Osmocote, and we may have found a place to get some horse alfala pellets for cheap. Mild stuff I can hold in my hand or shake out onto the ground is as far as I'll go, but I take heart from hearing how the reblooms may be encouraged by it!

I am sooooooooo ready for spring ...
