any number of perennials can grow in acidic soils.. many of them prefer it. (5.7-6.5 pH)
Reply:Hydrangeas can be grown in both, but if you are growing the blue ones they need to be in ericacious soil to keep their colour and not turn pink.
Reply:Hypericums
Reply:Hydrangeas, ericas (heather)...anything you like is worth a try if it goes a bit funny looking you could always move it somewhere else. Live dangerously-Nothing is gonna die overnight x
