Miracle-Gro Plant Food

Miracle-Gro is a world-renowned brand in the gardening industry, recognized for its specialized fertilizers and plant nutrition products. The brand's origin dates back to 1951 when it was founded by Horace Hagedorn and Otto Stern in Geneva, New York. It gained fame through its water-soluble fertilizers and pioneering marketing strategies which transformed home gardening into an accessible hobby for millions.

Today, the brand is owned by The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company, following a significant merger in 1995 between the Miracle-Gro Products company and The Scotts Company. This merger created one of the largest marketers of branded consumer products for lawn and garden care in the world. Most Miracle-Gro products sold in North America are manufactured in the United States, though the company maintains a global supply chain to support its international distribution.

As of 2026, the company continues to operate as a leader in the horticulture sector, focusing on both traditional chemical fertilizers and an expanding portfolio of organic and indoor gardening solutions. Headquartered in Marysville, Ohio, the company maintains its status as the ultimate owner, overseeing a variety of household gardening brands including Scotts, Ortho, and Roundup (through marketing agreements).
