No, its of no benefit to the shrubs you listed, its really only of use to acid loving shrubs showing signs of chlorosis.

Not sure that Miraclegrow is good for the shrubs either!

We use Sequestrene on roses, since our soil is so alkaline. It would have to be pretty chalky for that to be necessary in the UK. In any case, look for the new leaves turning yellowish with green veins, before thinking of using it.

Oh dear! Getting it al wrong again! I've got these bottles of Seq. so perhaps i'd better go and get some heathers! No, not really, I don't have much luck with them here, although elsewhere in the village (now small town) they seem to do fairly well. The other shrubs were new last autumn and I have given them one feed of Miracle this spring but I won't give them any more! I was feeling quite virtuous too, since I'm normally a bit slack about feeding things. Thanks for the advice!

If one of your bottles is unopened the place where you bought it might exchange it if you explain you made a mistake?

Thanks Stera, but I've just read that it can be used on geraniums and heucheras and my amelanchier tree! I've got quite a few geraniums and heucheras so unless someone on here tells me otherwise, I can use it up on those things.

Personally I'd follow Stera's advice and see if you can exchange... The two plants and the tree you mention above like 'slightly acidic soil' though they are fine in neutral to slightly alkaline. None will thank you for giving them a feed of sequestrene!

Agree - Sequestrene is largely only ever used when plants are showing signs of becoming chlorotic, or occasionally to keep hydrangea flowers blue - there's no point to using extra chemicals when they're not needed. If you used it for your Camellia because that was showing symptoms, it will show symptoms again over time, and may need retreating, possibly annually or twice yearly. Same would be true for rhododendron, which also like acid soil.

Okay......I'll try to take the 2nd bottle back or offer it to someone with a lot of heather! Thanks, all of you.

Even heather doesn't need sequestrene in fact some heathers only grow in alkaline to neutral soil... take it back Penny.
