   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.
