Maybe safe, but not recommended. Azaleas should be fertilized after
the blossoms fall, and then an acidic fertilizer should be used.
Deciduous trees are better fertilized at the roots in fall and winter
when the ground is damp. Each kind of plant has different needs.
Beware that some plants may be killed by too much fertilizer. There
are exceptions but in general fertilizer should not be applied to
flower parts nor buds. Miracle Gro is strong stuff. Read before you
apply.

Hello:

Just bought that Miracle Gro plastic sprayer that attaches to the end of the
hose.
Comes loaded with their miracle gro fertilizer, also.
No idea what the mix is in the fertilizer.

Have never used this before.

Is it perfectly safe to spray Directly on the flowers and buds of oramental
shrubs, bushes, and small trees ?

e.g., is directly on the flowers of azaelas, etc. safe ?

Any caveats ?

Thanks,
Bob
