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.

Melaleuca Armillaris Tea Tree
Raithby, WC
Melaleuca armillaris – Tea Tree Plant
Rare to find.
A quick growing evergreen tree or shrub growing up to 7m tall. It has fine, thinly pointed green leaves and its flowers are white fluffy bottlebrush-like and appear in summer.This incredibly powerful medicinal plant has a lovely scent when the leaves are touched/crushed – the tea tree oil smell.
The trees grow well in coastal conditions but can also withstand light frosts. Fresh sprigs rubbed onto windowsills and kitchen counters help control flies and mosquitoes. It will thrive in any soil but it needs full sun and a deeply dug and well-composted hole in which to get established. The secret is to cut it back to quite harshly every two or three years, to keep it vigorous, tidy and attractive.
The Tea tree is native to N Australia, S New Guinea and the Moluccas. · It is a hardy, medium-sized tree with papery bark, in several layers.
Medicinal Uses.
An easy-to-make lotion of leaves, sprigs and pieces of bark is a superb wash or spray for bites, rashes, scratches, heat rash, itchiness, fungal infections, acne and oily skin, and can be used as a rinse for oily hair and athlete’s foot.

Agapanthus ‘Blush Pink’ PBR
Raithby, WC
Agapanthus ‘Blush Pink’ NEW/RARE!
Add a touch of soft romance and uniqueness to your garden with Agapanthus ‘Blush Pink’, a rare, sought after and beautiful variety.
It produces graceful clusters of unique white pink flowers on strong, slender stems above lush, narrow, strap-like foliage. The colour is influenced by light and soil conditions. Flowering through summer, it brings delicate colour to borders, pots and pathways, and is equally striking planted in groups or as a soft contrast.
Like other agapanthus, Blush Pink is hardy, waterwise, and easy to care for once established. It IS slightly more delicate than normal agapanthus, so it does need a bit more care. It thrives in sun to semi shade and well-drained soil that’s slightly acidic (pH 5–6). It’s important to use ericaceous compost. Water regularly during the growing season and reduce watering in winter.
