The 5-10-5 analysis means it carries just 5% nitrogen — enough to keep foliage healthy without pushing the soft, sprawling growth that ruins a rock garden's tight forms — alongside 10% phosphorus for strong roots and bold, long-lasting blooms, and 5% potassium for stress tolerance and flower quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003eAlpine and rock garden plants evolved in lean mountain soils, and they keep their dense cushions, mats, and rosettes precisely because nutrients are scarce. Heavy feeding makes them leggy and floppy; a measured low-nitrogen feed every 6–8 weeks supports flowering and root strength while preserving the compact habit you planted them for. In a rock garden, less is genuinely more — at 20% total analysis, this is one of the lightest feeds in the Wicked Growth line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cb\u003eLow nitrogen, compact form — \u003c\/b\u003eJust 5% nitrogen supports healthy foliage without the soft, leggy growth that destroys tight cushions, mats, and rosettes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhosphorus where it counts — \u003c\/b\u003e10% phosphorus — double the nitrogen — strengthens roots in lean, fast-draining soils and fuels bold, long-lasting flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBuilt for lean soils — \u003c\/b\u003eAt 20% total analysis with measured rates, it matches how alpine plants actually evolved to feed: lightly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTough-site resilience — \u003c\/b\u003e5% potassium supports stress tolerance and flower and foliage quality through sun, wind, and drought between rains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEvery alpine favorite — \u003c\/b\u003eSedum, thyme, aubrieta, creeping phlox, saxifrage, hens and chicks, and a dozen more rockery classics — one bag for the whole display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSimple, sparing rates — \u003c\/b\u003e½ cup per 10 sq ft or ¼ cup to 1 cup per plant cluster — a 5 lb bag covers roughly 220 sq ft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere to use it: \u003c\/strong\u003erockeries, alpine beds, gravel gardens, borders, troughs, and container displays of sedum, thyme, aubrieta, creeping phlox (Phlox subulata), arabis, dianthus, edelweiss, rock cress, ice plant, lewisia, alpine pinks, saxifrage, hens and chicks, low-growing campanula, dwarf penstemon, and euphorbia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Old Cobblers Farm","offers":[{"title":"5 lbs","offer_id":41560547000453,"sku":"DZ-VANG-23VM","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 lbs","offer_id":41560546967685,"sku":"LU-4L3Q-EUSO","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 lbs","offer_id":41560547033221,"sku":"HW-X57C-QZ5M","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 lbs","offer_id":41560546934917,"sku":"K3-U25F-U9D1","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/3573\/9781\/files\/OldCobblersFarm_WickedGrowthAlpineRockGardenPlantsFertilizer.jpg?v=1774852141","url":"https:\/\/theoldcobblersfarm.com\/products\/https-theoldcobblersfarm-com-products-old-cobblers-farm-wicked-organics-0-12-0-fertilizer-rock-phosphate-_pos-1-_sid-475cadad7-_ss-r","provider":"Old Cobblers Farm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
