Ericaceous Planting & Potting Mix 60L

Essential for anyone growing lime-hating, acid-loving plants, the Ericaceous Planting & Potting Mix is formulated to create the perfect growing environment for species such as camellias, azaleas, rhododendrons, heathers, blueberries, and hydrangeas. Its premium blend of ingredients is enriched with a special zinc complex, helping plants develop stronger structures and improved resilience.

This mix includes a 6-month slow-release feed, providing steady nutrition to support long-lasting growth and flowering. As iron is gradually released into the soil, it helps maintain the acidic conditions that ericaceous plants need to thrive. Iron also plays a key role in preventing leaf yellowing and ensuring foliage stays lush and green by improving the efficiency of photosynthesis.

Ideal for use in pots, containers, raised beds, or garden borders, the Ericaceous Planting & Potting Mix is suitable for planting throughout the year, offering excellent drainage, aeration, and long-term nutrient support.

Beds & Borders:
