Espoma Plant-tone vs. Flower-tone for Annuals and Begonias

Either Works – Simplicity Wins

Plant-tone (5-3-3) and Flower-tone (3-5-7) are largely interchangeable. Flower-tone targets annual flowers; Plant-tone covers perennials and shrubs. Buy one and use everywhere.

Application Simplified

• At planting: sprinkle recommended rate around plants.
• Monthly reapplication through October.
• Rain activates – no watering in needed.

For Your Specific Plants

Impatiens, coleus, salvia, tuberous begonias all perform well with either formula. No need to switch mid-season. The slight NPK differences won't significantly impact results compared to consistent feeding.
