Formulated for Acid-Loving Plants

Holly-Tone is designed specifically for plants that thrive in acidic soil. This makes it the perfect choice for a wide variety of plants that prefer lower pH levels, such as:

• Azaleas: Known for their stunning blooms, azaleas require nutrient-rich, acidic soil to produce vibrant flowers. Holly-Tone provides the perfect blend of nutrients to keep them healthy and flowering.
• Camellias: Camellias need an acidic environment to produce their signature large, colorful flowers. Holly-Tone helps promote stronger blooms and healthy foliage.
• Rhododendrons: These plants require specific nutrients to thrive in acidic soil, and Holly-Tone ensures they have what they need for deep-rooted growth and plentiful blooms.
• Evergreens: Acid-loving evergreens, such as pines and hemlocks, also benefit from the balanced nutrition provided by Holly-Tone.

By supplying the right blend of nutrients, Holly-Tone ensures that these plants receive the support they need for vibrant blooms and healthy growth throughout the year.

100% Natural and Organic Formula

The Espoma Holly-Tone formula is entirely natural and organic, making it a safe and environmentally friendly option for gardeners and landscapers. Espoma is dedicated to using the finest ingredients, ensuring that no harmful sludges or fillers are included in the blend. The result is a high-quality, nutrient-rich plant food that promotes long-term soil health.

• Organic Ingredients: The Tone products, including Holly-Tone, are made from a complex blend of natural ingredients. These include plant-based materials, animal by-products, and beneficial minerals that provide a rich source of nutrients to plants.
• No Sludges or Fillers: Unlike many synthetic fertilizers, Holly-Tone contains no harmful sludges or cheap fillers, ensuring that your plants are getting only the best quality nutrients. This also means it's safe for the environment, promoting sustainable gardening practices.

Because it's organic, Holly-Tone helps improve the overall health of your soil, enhancing its ability to retain moisture and nutrients, which contributes to healthier plants over time.

Boosted with Bio-Tone Microbes

What sets Holly-Tone apart from other plant foods is the inclusion of Bio-Tone beneficial microbes. These microbes play a crucial role in helping plants establish faster, develop stronger roots, and achieve superior blooms.

• Faster Establishment: When planted with Holly-Tone, plants establish themselves more quickly, as the beneficial microbes work to enhance root growth and nutrient uptake.
• Deeper Roots: The Bio-Tone microbes help plants develop deeper, more extensive root systems, ensuring they can access more nutrients and water from the soil. This is especially important for acid-loving plants, which often require specific soil conditions to thrive.
• Better Blooms: Holly-Tone promotes healthier, more abundant blooms by providing the nutrients necessary for vibrant flower production.

These beneficial microbes ensure that Holly-Tone not only feeds your plants but also improves the overall soil ecosystem, fostering long-term plant health and vitality.

Long-Lasting and Safe Formula

One of the key benefits of Holly-Tone is its long-lasting effects. This slow-release fertilizer provides nutrients to your plants over an extended period, ensuring they receive consistent feeding without the risk of burning or nutrient leaching.

• Won't Burn Plants: Holly-Tone's natural, organic formula is gentle on plants, making it safe to apply without the risk of burning. This is especially important for tender, acid-loving plants that can be sensitive to harsh chemical fertilizers.
• Slow Release: The slow-release formula ensures that nutrients are delivered steadily over time, giving your plants a constant source of nourishment throughout the growing season.
• No Leaching: Unlike some chemical fertilizers that wash away with heavy rain or overwatering, Holly-Tone stays in the soil, where it can continue to nourish plants without the risk of runoff or leaching.

This means that a single application of Holly-Tone can provide your plants with the nutrition they need for weeks or even months, reducing the need for frequent reapplication and simplifying your garden maintenance routine.

Application Instructions

To get the best results from Espoma Holly-Tone, follow these simple application guidelines:

1. New Plantings: For new plantings, mix Holly-Tone into the soil at the time of planting. Use approximately 1 cup of fertilizer per foot of plant height.
2. Established Plants: For established plants, apply Holly-Tone around the drip line of the plant in early spring and late fall. Use about 1 cup per foot of branch spread (the diameter of the plant’s foliage).
3. Water Thoroughly: After applying Holly-Tone, water your plants thoroughly to help the nutrients reach the root zone. This ensures proper absorption and maximizes the effectiveness of the fertilizer.

By following these application guidelines, you can ensure your acid-loving plants receive the nutrition they need to grow healthy and strong.
