Where to plant Andromeda
Andromeda are best planted in a moist but well-drained soil of loam, clay or sand. They are best positioned in a sheltered area of full sun, part shade or full shade. Andromeda make a subtle and unimposing plant within your border and containers due to its small size. It will spread, creating depth to your beds and borders whilst acting as affective weed suppressing groundcover, perfect for wildlife, cottage and informal gardens.
