Ericaceous compost is acidic and is beneficial for plants that like an acid soil. For example camellias, rhododendrons, erica’s etc.
Hydrangeas also benefit, making their colours more intense and also making certain flowers more blue in colour. The pH of an acidic soil is typically between 4.5 and 6.

Agapanthus ‘Poppin Pink’ PBR
Raithby, WC
NEW RELEASE – 3 October 2026
💗 A truly exciting new colour for the agapanthus family! Agapanthus ‘Poppin’ Pink’ is a striking new South African introduction, producing vibrant, solid-pink flower heads above neat, evergreen foliage.
After 21 years of breeding and selection, ‘Poppin’ Pink’ brings a colour that has been remarkably elusive in agapanthus: a rich, clear pink that really stands out in the garden.
🌸 Why we love Agapanthus ‘Poppin’ Pink’
- 🌺 Bright solid-pink flowers – a wonderful change from the traditional blue, purple and white agapanthus.
- ☀️ Loves sunshine – plant in full sun for the best flowering and strongest colour.
- 🌿 Evergreen foliage – attractive strappy foliage provides year-round structure.
- 🌸 Repeat flowering – successive flushes of flowers can extend the flowering display.
- 💧 Heat and drought tolerant once established – an excellent choice for South African gardens.
- 🪴 Excellent in containers – its compact, clumping habit makes it suitable for pots, patios and smaller gardens.
- 🌱 Great for mass planting – plant several together for a spectacular sweep of pink.
Where to plant
Plant Agapanthus ‘Poppin’ Pink’ in a sunny border, rockery, mixed perennial bed or container. It combines beautifully with ornamental grasses and plants with silver or soft-green foliage, which allow the vibrant pink flowers to take centre stage.
Give it well-drained soil and plenty of sunshine, and water regularly while it establishes. Once settled, it is a relatively low-maintenance and water-wise addition to the garden.
🇿🇦 A new chapter for a South African favourite
Agapanthus is one of South Africa’s most recognisable garden plants, and ‘Poppin’ Pink’ brings an entirely new colour dimension to this much-loved genus. Developed by South African breeders after more than two decades of breeding work, this is a plant that is as exciting for collectors as it is for everyday gardeners.
A rare opportunity to be among the first to grow this exciting new pink agapanthus.
