Bill from NYC Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 what will that do? The acid, unlike regular Miracle Grow, is very good for flowering shrubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_franchise Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Make sure you cut it back every year. It could also have a fungus problem if its in an area that the water doesn't drain very well. There are some other chemicals you can pick up at your local nursery to help you with the problem. I'm sure if you went to one you could get a better "expert" opinion.

realtruelove Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Two other possible reasons 1. Not enough sun, they love sun. 2. Root ball is too deep. Remove mulch or wood chips around root ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they love "sun"... How come you see them all over Seattle and the northwest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As told by my 6 year old daughter that just read me the riot act for mowing the lawn yesterday... You know, ripping up all those "pretty" dandelions and cutting the "beautiful" purple flowers (creeping charlie)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Oh, no. Here goes another Mir Acid versus Miracle Gro debate. Miracle Grow has more experience but hasn't proven itself over the five years it's been tried. Mir Acid is new and has shown some flashes of greatness but doesn't work very well late in the season when snow starts falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
