Default Will a lawn fertilizer (30-0-3) cause flowers to NOT bloom?
Lawn Guy said:
My wife seems to think that when my lawn fertilizer (30-0-3) gets into
her flower bed, it causes the flowers to put out more leaves and less
blooms. Specifically lillys.

Her concern is reasonable. Excess nitrogen is not good for flowering
perennials.
