   Are ericas a good plant?

   Where should ericas grow?

   • However, as most ericas like similar growing conditions – a sunny spot in free-draining, acid to neutral soil – your choice will mainly be down to flower colour, flowering time and plant size: Flowers come in many shades of purple, mauve, pink, red, cream and white.

   Are ericas evergreen?

   • Generally known as heaths and heathers, ericas are usually small evergreen shrubs that bloom over a long period, with masses of tiny flowers in shades of purple, mauve, pink, red or white. In gardens they’re traditionally grown as ground cover, low hedging or winter bedding, although a few, known as tree heathers, make more substantial shrubs.

   Do ericas need feeding?

   • Ericas do not generally need feeding, but if the leaves start to turn yellow (known as chlorosis), apply an ericaceous feed during the growing season. Plants in containers can be fed annually with an ericaceous feed. See our guide to looking after plants in containers.
