Fertilizer

For Round-headed rampion, the main time to apply fertilizer is in early spring when the flowers are forming. The appropriate fertilizer promotes better blooms and helps Round-headed rampion produce attractive flowers. Fertilizing in early spring ensures excellent flowering during the season and supplies energy for dormant growth phases.
