Acid loving Ericaceous plants require a more infertile or acidic soil. Plants such as Magnolias, Camellias, Azaleas, and Rhododendrons love soil which is acid-rich and will struggle to grow when the soil is more alkaline. To achieve the best results with these plants locally in our area, you will need to plant them in Ericaceous Compost.
These vary from petite shrubs to towering trees. While many bloom in spring, some also flower during the summer months.
These trees/shrubs grow at a slow pace, reaching their final size can take anywhere from 10 to 20 years. This makes them a long-term investment, so it’s essential to carefully choose the right variety for your garden.

Camellias are popular evergreen shrubs with glossy foliage and round flowers. The flowers feature a bright yellow centre, typically adorned with red, pink or white petals. Now is the ideal time to plant them, although they can be planted in any month as long as they are carefully monitored. They thrive best in well-drained soil and do best when in shade, and is important to avoid excessive afternoon heat.

These popular flowering shrubs some in a range of sizes and and form large blooms in an array of different colours. They are guaranteed to put on a good show of flowers in early summer as long as you provide the right acidic soil.
Azaleas are now categorized under the Rhododendron genus due to their shared traits, yet they still exhibit several distinct differences. For instance, Rhododendrons are typically evergreen, whereas Azaleas are mostly deciduous. Additionally, Rhododendron flowers tend to bloom in large clusters known as ‘trusses’, while Azaleas usually have smaller groupings of about three flowers at the tip of a stem.
