I don't think it matters: any ordinary soil as long as it retains
moisture. Dappled shade a good idea?

| Mike,
I thought it was probably a little on the alkaline side around 6.5 but
haven't been able to find any info. Thanks for your
help......................................Dan

I've got 3 tall phlox (paniculata) which do well on my alkaline soil.

| Pam,
Would you think ph of 6.8 would be OK? Thanks for letting me know about
your
phlox..................................................................Dan

| Thank you Brian,
I always thought they needed slightly alkaline so I'll get it up around 6.8
and let you know what happens.
Thanks again....................................Dan

| Most good plants want the pH around 6. Weeds do very well 8 and above,
blueberries do best between 4.5 and 5.5. Some flowers change colors when
the pH changes (blue in acidic and pink in alkaline).
