What's in our flower food?
Flower & Rose Organic Garden Nutrients is made from organically sourced ingredients to help promote increased flower production and bigger blooms. Here's what's in the formula:
- Dried poultry litter provides nitrogen and phosphorus for overall growth.
- Fish bone and kelp meal support leafy growth, flowering, and fruiting.
- Blood meal provides nitrogen to encourage green, leafy growth.
- Potassium sulfate provides potassium to help plants fight off disease, manage water use, and enhance overall hardiness.
- Sulfate of potash magnesia enhances growth and hardiness, with a dose of potassium, sulfur, and magnesium.
- Gypsum provides a calcium and sulfur boost for plants.
Sunday Tip:
Bonus! Sunday’s organic garden nutrients contain carbon-rich materials that help build soil organic matter over time.
When to apply flower food
Flowers and perennial plants can be fertilized multiple times throughout spring to summer.
The amount will vary depending on the planting area and the type of plant you’re feeding, but it’s best to apply every 4-6 weeks as long as plants aren’t heat or drought-stressed.

Flower & Rose FAQs
How and where do I store garden nutrients?
Store this product sitting upright with the bag sealed tightly. Do not store in excessive heat or freezing temperatures. You may reuse fertilizer over multiple seasons but shake the bag to loosen granules before each use to ensure uniform application.
How do I use this with other Sunday products?
Treat weeds with Sunday weed control before applying your Sunday organic garden nutrients. Why? This prevents your feeding weeds when mixing garden nutrients into your planting area.
If you’re using any pest control products, make sure you apply those after watering in garden nutrients to avoid any disruption to pest control baits or liquid products.
What if I apply out of order?
If you applied garden nutrients before removing weeds, water in your garden nutrients, then remove and treat weeds. Just be careful not to apply weed control to garden plants or seeds!
