Bloom Fertilizer 5-4-6

Built for strong stems and steady blooms What it is A balanced, organic-based fertilizer we developed on our farm in Cape Elizabeth, Maine to support cut flowers through the full growing season. We use it in our own fields for dahlias, mixed flower rows, and garden beds where bloom quality matters. It feeds the soil and the plant at the same time, supporting steady growth early and consistent blooms later in the season. Why it’s different Most fertilizers push fast growth, then drop off. This one is built to hold. It uses composted poultry manure as a base for steady nutrition, then layers in sulfate of potash for bloom strength, gypsum for plant structure, and kelp for micronutrients. The result is plants that grow evenly and flowers that hold up in the field and in the vase. Proof (from the farm) This is the same mix we use across our flower fields. Cold mornings, coastal wind, sandy soil—we built this to work here. It’s not formulated for ideal conditions. It’s built for real ones. What you may notice Stronger stems that don’t fall over mid-season More consistent blooms instead of one big flush Better color and overall plant structure Soil that improves with repeat use How to use At planting: ½ cup per plant, mixed into soil Mid-season: ½ cup per plant, watered in Broadcast: 3 lb per 100 sq ft before planting That’s enough for most crops. What’s inside Composted poultry manure for a steady nutrient base Sulfate of potash for bloom strength and color Gypsum for calcium and plant structure Kelp meal for micronutrients and root support Humates to support soil biology and nutrient uptake Trace minerals and optional mycorrhizae for root development Approximate analysis: 5-4-6 (+ Ca 3%, S 2%) A note This is not a quick-release fertilizer. It works over time. Apply it, water it in, and let the soil do the rest. Close A simple fertilizer built from how we actually grow flowers.
