Compost, leaf litter or a specialty fertilizer are what is best for the Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus).

Specifically, the Rose of Sharon benefits from any fertilization schedule that is in effect for the grass, ground cover, lawn or turf in which it grows. Otherwise, it can handle applications of fertilizers especially designed for hibiscus plants. It likes the slow but direct and steady release of nutrients through applications of compost and of its own leaf litter as natural fertilizers or mulches.

An acid-forming, slow-release, 2-1-1 nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium, well-balanced product is the best fertilizer for azaleas. It may be used at planting, instead of an organic amendment mulched with compost, pine straw or shredded leaves, and for spring and summer applications. Confusion of a nutrient deficiency or of an unsatisfactory growth rate, both of which warrant fertilizer, with disease organisms, incorrect soil pH (power of hydrogen), insect stress, soil compaction, drought or waterlogging, none of which fertilizer problem-solves, must be verified first.

What is the best fertilizer for syringa reticulata?

Compost or leaf litter are the best fertilizers for Japanese tree lilacs (Syringa reticulata).Specifically, Japanese tree lilacs fluorish in a range of environmental and soil conditions. In fact, they may not need fertilizer applications when they grow in grass, ground cover, lawn or turf that is on a regular fertilizer schedule. But for those who prefer fertilizer treatments, Japanese tree lilacs respond well to the slow but direct and steady release of nutrients back into the soil that is afforded by fertilizing along the drip line or mulching with compost or the tree's own leaf litter.
