   Are ericas a good plant?

   • Ericas are best planted in groups, combining either similar or contrasting flower colours, foliage and plant forms. They also work well with other heathers – Calluna and Daboecia. There are so many cultivars to choose from that it is easy to build up quite a collection.

   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.

   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.

   Can ericas grow in containers?

   • If you find that your soil is too alkaline for ericas, you can still grow them in containers, using ericaceous (acidic) compost. Ericas also like free-draining soil, and once settled in are fairly tolerant of drought. They don't like to sit in damp  or waterlogged soil, as they are prone to rotting. Most ericas need an open, sunny site.
