What are Ericaceous Plants?

Ericaceous plants are those which prefer acid soil conditions. For example: Rhododendron, Camellia, Azalea, Conifers, Magnolias, Acers, Heathers, Pieris, Skimmia, Berberia, Blueberries and Hydrangeas.

The benefits of added Iron

Acid loving plants need an extra boost of Iron to assist with the formation of Chlorophyll. This in turn keeps leaves green and healthy. It also is necessary for some enzyme functions such as energy production.
