I want to breed my female Blossom next season and want to make sure she has everything she needs. (So I have no problems with poorly babies)

Any thoughts on the better types of vitamins to give her?

all the vitamins she needs are in her food, you dont need to give her any supplements, however, if you want to, you can use nutrabal and calcium powder on the food, just not both at the same time. I cant remember the reason why, but i have heard not to. still you have a year almost to get her in peak condition for breeding, although it would be a good idea to think about hibernating around october november time. You can hibernate for nearly 4 months if you wanted to, as long as the temps stay steady and she doesnt lose loads of weight. saves the feeding too.
Although, if shes not massive then giving her 6 weeks or so is fine, that way gives you a few more weeks to get food into her.
How heavy is she now, how long and how old??
