Acid-loving Plants

Camellias, rhododendrons, blueberries and many of the Magnolias are all popular plants that need to be grown in an acidic soil (ie soil with a pH below 7). There are many other plants however that are quite happy to grow in soils with a low pH, and these are all included in the list below.
