Hi all,
My gardener accidentally used ericaceous compost to plant the following 5 shrubs
Weigela 'Little Red Robin'
Abelia x grandiflora 'Sunshine Daydream'
Choisya Ternata 'Sundance'
Aucuba Japonica 'Crotonifolia'
Viburnum Sargentii 'Onondaga'
Will the compost harm these plants? Should I dig them up and replant them?

some gardener ! , but I don't think it will do any harm . Ericaceous compost is advocated for acid loving shrubs like Rhododendrons and Heathers because they won't thrive in alkali soil , I have used Ericaceous accidently too and it was ok , mind you my heathers did ok in ordinary compost
