Definition
Belonging to or characteristic of the Ericaceae family of plants, which includes heathers, blueberries, and rhododendrons.
Etymology
From Ericaceae (plant family) plus -ous suffix meaning having the quality of or belonging to.
Kelly Says
Ericaceous plants are so specific about their soil preferences that gardeners have a special term 'ericaceous compost' made with peat or peat alternatives to recreate their native acidic conditions.
