Miracid is what I used this year but I found that the
tetraploids had better bloom than the diploids.
Planting Siberians is a factor re performance, in my
experience. I plant them 3" deep and prepare the bed
with compost, sphagnum (sp.) peat moss, and aged
manure. This seems to give them a good start for many
years in the same place. A soil test and an analysis
of
water is always useful, too.
