Fertilising a Tanacetum coccineum 'Robinson's Red'
To ensure the vibrant red blooms of the Tanacetum coccineum 'Robinson's Red' reach their full potential, appropriate fertilization is crucial. Begin nourishing this species in early spring to support the forthcoming growth season. A balanced, slow-release fertilizer applied as new growth appears provides the necessary nutrients over an extended period, promoting healthy development.
A second application of fertilizer should be considered in late spring, coinciding with the onset of the flowering period. It is imperative to distribute the fertilizer evenly around the base of the plant, taking care not to concentrate it too close to the stems to prevent root burn.
Regular fertilization not only boosts the flowering capacity but also strengthens the plant's overall health, allowing it to thrive in sunny borders and group plantings with its lush, green foliage.
