Why Use

John Innes composts were developed over 50 years ago and are based on a traditional recipe of loam, peat and horticultural grit with added nutrients. John Innes Ericaceous Compost is a loam based compost which is a naturally reduced peat mix. It is specifically designed for use with all acid loving plants.

What are Ericaceous Plants?

Ericaceous plants are those which prefer acid soil conditions. For example: Rhododendrons, Camellias, Azaleas, 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.
