Yes! You can use Osmocote Plus on edibles and ornamentals. My roses and tomatoes both love it because the formula includes both the macro nutrients and all the micro nutrients and minerals that could be lacking. The plants take up only what they need and when all the nutrients are available you get maximum production. I love using Osmocote Plus in containers because I don\'t have to keep track of when my plants need fertilizing. One application lasts all summer and is released slowly each time I water. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
