I've been shopping for a rhodo and azalea fertilizer and so far have found four, all with quite different formulas. The first three are water soluble. They are 17-6-6, 4-12-8, 6-12-12, and 10-8-6. Are there thoughts on which formula would be best suited for a West Coast conifer forest situation? I'm leaning toward the 10-8-6 simply because it is dry as we are likely a month or more before the spring rains end. Thanks for any views. Jerome
Have a gander at this: Fearing's Farm Nursery - How to fertilize rhododendrons It seems like it a matter of much discussion over the years for local rhodo enthusiasts, but it sounds like the consensus is 10-8-6 for the late winter / early spring application.
