Which Plants Are Coffee Grounds Good for in the Garden?

Roses

• Available in hundreds of varieties and hybrids, some fragrant and some not, roses grow either as bushes or climbing vines. Some types of roses are fragile and require delicate care while others are hardier. Despite their differences, almost every variety of rose enjoys acidic soil.

Camellias

• Shrubs that grow to around 10 feet high, depending on the variety, camellias are available in a range of colors. The flowers of a camellia tend to be large and the shrub enjoys shaded areas with well-draining soil. Camellias also thrive with more acidic soil.

Blueberries

• Found on bushes that can grow as large as 15 feet high, blueberries prefer moist, acidic, well-drained soil. The fruit is high in fiber, an excellent source of vitamin C, potassium and iron, and contain the antioxidant anthocyanin.

Azaleas

• Another acid-loving shrub, the azalea is available in many different varieties and colors. Its funnel-shaped flowers grow in clusters and bloom in spring. Azaleas like moist soil and at least partial shade for a majority of the day.
