Popular, in-demand plants – Hydrangeas and Buxus – will benefit from the launch of two new liquid feeds in 2023 as Vitax adds to its specialist liquid feed range to help meet the nutritious needs of the two garden favourites. 

Developed specifically for gardeners and customers who prefer an easy-to-use liquid feed, Liquid Hydrangea Feed and Liquid Buxus Feed received a huge response from visitors to Glee this year, proving to be just as popular as the specialist feed pouches.

The new liquid feeds will meet the demand for plant-specific products, while enabling garden centres and nurseries make that all important linked-sale as the product can be displayed right next to the plant.

“Whilst good, multi-purpose feeds are still popular with gardeners and consumers, the demand for specialist feeds to meet the specific nutritious needs of popular plants continues to grow, which is evident from pre-season sales and the response we received at Glee,” says Mark Butler, national sales manager at Vitax.

“The specialist pouches have been a huge hit, especially for plants such as hydrangeas and buxus, and the new liquid feeds makes gardening easy for those who want to give their plants an added boost as part of their watering regime.”

Getting the right balance of nutrients is important for good plant health with both new products helping gardeners make the most of their much-loved plants.

Liquid Hydrangea Feed has been formulated to ensure hydrangeas thrive in all types of soils and is especially well suited to hydrangeas grown in pots as well as those grown in garden beds.

Ideal for use in peat-free composts, free-draining growing media and soil with varying pH, Liquid Hydrangea Feed contains all the essential nutrients required for vibrant and strong healthy growth. Potash has been added to encourage abundant blooms, nitrogen for strong growth and rich leaf colour. Low-levels of iron and manganese have also been added to the formulation to ensure the availability of trace elements – essential for chlorophyll production.

Liquid Buxus Feed is the second new addition to the liquid feed range, created to help gardeners keep their common box or buxus in tip-top condition.

Ideal for buxus planted in pots and containers or in the ground, it contains nitrogen for strong growth and added magnesium to enhance chlorophyll production for luscious, rich, dark green foliage. The addition of both nitrogen and magnesium helps to produce stronger buxus, maximising growth and strengthening natural defences to prevent and fight disease.

All products are now available for order.
