Miracle-Gro Shake 'N Feed Flowering Trees & Shrubs Plant Food, 8 lb — Organic-based slow-release

Miracle-Gro Shake 'N Feed Flowering Trees & Shrubs is an 8 lb organic-based granular plant food that feeds flowering trees and shrubs for up to three months, nourishing soil microbes and supporting seasonal blooms.

This specially blended plant food combines natural ingredients like kelp, earthworm castings, feather meal, and bone meal with continuous-release nutrients to support root strength, water efficiency, and sustained flowering. It is formulated for flowering trees, shrubs, and acid-loving landscape plants and can be used both in the ground and in containers. Apply by shaking across the soil under the canopy or working into potting mix; water to activate the feeding.

How does this plant food support blooms and foliage?

Miracle-Gro Shake 'N Feed supplies a steady release of nutrients that encourage deep green foliage and vibrant flowers over the season. The blend feeds soil microbes, which break down organic matter and make nutrients available to roots.

• Continuous-release formula feeds plants for up to three months
• Organic inputs (kelp, castings, bone, feather meals) boost microbial activity
• Promotes nutrient availability for stronger roots and healthier foliage

How do I apply it to trees, shrubs, and container plants?

For in-ground plants, shake evenly across the soil beneath the branch spread, keeping granules off trunks and leaves. For containers, mix into potting soil at planting or sprinkle on established pots, then water to start nutrient release.

• Shake evenly within the branch spread, avoid direct trunk contact
• Work into potting mix at planting for container use
• Water thoroughly after application to activate the formula

How often should I reapply to maintain results?

Reapply every three months throughout the growing season to maintain steady feeding and support continuous bloom cycles. Seasonal reapplication helps replenish organic inputs and sustain soil microbial populations.

• Standard schedule: reapply every 3 months
• Adjust timing for heavy rainfall or irrigation patterns
• Use consistent applications for best seasonal performance

What makes this formula different from fast-release fertilizers?

Unlike quick-release synthetic feeds, this product combines slow-release nutrients with natural organic materials that feed soil life as well as plants. That dual action helps improve soil structure and long-term nutrient cycling rather than only giving an immediate nutrient spike.

• Feeds soil microbes in addition to plants for sustained nutrient release
• Includes organic materials that break down gradually over time
• Designed for trees, shrubs, and other acid-loving landscape plants

Who is this for: Gardeners and landscapers who want a practical, long-lasting feed for flowering trees, shrubs, and acid-loving plants. It’s suited for homeowners maintaining beds and borders, container gardeners who want reliable monthly feeding, and anyone looking to support soil life while encouraging seasonal blooms and fuller foliage.
