Q: We are interested in getting a slow release fertilizer for our daylily nursery that has an analysis of approximately 24-8-6. Any suggestions?

The major fertilizer supplier here in B.C. is Evergro-westgro in Delta, they recommend Nutricote 20-7-10 Type 180 as a slow release, good for “foliage plants or nursery crops requiring higher nitrogen content”. That is the closest that is commercially available.
