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.

Leonotis Leonurus peach
Raithby, WC
Not often seen for sale – this wild dagga or lions tail plant has peach coloured flowers.
The bush is comprised of mostly erect branched stems topped with multiple ball-shaped inflorescences which bear the nectar-rich flowers – sunbirds love them. They also attract honey bees and other beneficial insects.
The Bush Bronze butterfly (Cacyreus lingeus Fam: Lycenidae) uses this plant as one of its larval food plants.
It can grow up to 2m high and 1m wide – slightly smaller than the common, orange version.
The generic name Leonotis is derived from the Greek words leon meaning lion and –otis meaning ear. This refers to the pubescent upper lip of each flower that resembles a lion’s ear, hence the vernacular name. The specific epithet leonurus means lion-coloured, a reference to the flower colour of some forms.

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.
