Fertilising a Epimedium × perralchicum 'Frohnleiten'
To bolster the vibrant display of Epimedium × perralchicum 'Frohnleiten', fertilization should be moderate. This species thrives with an annual application of a balanced, slow-release fertilizer applied early in the growing season, typically around March or April. Choose a product designed for flowering plants to ensure an optimal blend of nutrients that will support both the lush green foliage and the cheerful yellow blooms characteristic of this variety in spring.
When fertilizing, spread the granules according to the package instructions, ensuring even distribution around the base of the plant, avoiding direct contact with the leaves and stems. Gently incorporate the fertilizer into the top layer of soil and water thoroughly to help the nutrients penetrate and reach the roots. This will set the stage for a robust growing season, allowing this ground-covering perennial to flourish in its favored partial shade to shady locations.
