   Can ericas grow in a garden?

   • Ericas thrive in a spot that receives sunlight and enjoy the wind through their leaves, making them ideal for many Cape gardens! Once planted, do not disturb the soil around the plant. It has a fibrous root system and, like most fynbos, hates having its roots disturbed. GROWING ERICAS IN CONTAINERS

   Do ericas grow in winter?

   • Their foliage can vary, green, yellow, gold, red and grey which can intensify in winter. In their natural state, ericas grow in well drained, acid soils, low in nutrients. Heaths and heathers need regular summer rainfall but can withstand short periods of drought.

   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.

   Do ericas need acidic soil?

   • Most ericas need neutral to slightly acidic soil. The simplest way to assess your soil pH is to look at the plants in your local area – do rhododendrons and camellias grow well, and do hydrangeas have blue flowers? If so, your soil is probably acidic.
