it should be free-draining too, particularly if you're going to be growing in a pot of some kind.
You may well need to add grit,composted bark, perlite etc. to open up and improve the drainage of most commercially available composts.

they don't like chalky, alkaline conditions - multi purpose will do, or John Innes No. 2, or you can use ericaceous compost, though ericaceous is not essential by any means.
