   Where should ericas grow?

   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.

   Can ericas grow in shady soil?

   • Mulch with leafmould or composted pine needles to keep the acidity up and improve the soil structure. They do not grow well in shady locations, or in wet or chalky soils. They will not recover readily if pruned too hard into the older, woody stems. Did you know? Most ericas are heathland plants that like free-draining, acidic soil.

   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.
