Ericaceous Soil is a premium growing medium specially formulated for acid-loving plants that require lower pH conditions to thrive. While many garden soils tend to be neutral or slightly alkaline, species such as Azaleas, Rhododendrons, Camellias, Blueberries and Heathers perform best in acidic environments.

Produced from a carefully balanced blend of acidic sandy loam, peat and composted bark, this soil provides excellent drainage while retaining the moisture and nutrients essential for healthy plant development. With a typical pH range of 5.5–6.0, it creates the ideal growing conditions for lime-sensitive plants, encouraging vigorous root growth and long-term plant health.

Ideal For

• Beds and borders
• Containers and planters
• Raised beds
• Soil conditioning and mulching
• All ericaceous and acid-loving plants

Coverage Guide

• 0.5m³ Bulk Bag: Covers approximately 10m² at 50mm depth.
• 1.0m³ Bulk Bag: Covers approximately 20m² at 50mm depth.

For planting acid-loving shrubs and trees, such as Rhododendrons, Azaleas and Camellias, allow approximately 40–60 litres of Ericaceous Soil per plant, depending on root ball size and planting requirements.

As with all natural landscaping materials, coverage rates are approximate and may vary depending on ground conditions, compaction and method of application.
