Pozzolana is a mineral mulch extracted from volcanic rock. It is both very long lasting and extremely ornamental.
Its red brown color is also highly appealing because it changes from light to dark depending on rain and sun.
Advantages of pozzolana
Brownish-violet and very stable as seasons come and go, this mulch is perfectly suited to all kinds of beds: trees, shrubs, green plants and flowered plants, both outdoor and indoor.

Thanks to all these advantages, you’ll spur root development and growth of your plants.
Your blooms will also be more abundant and your garden even more wonderful!
