Soil for Tofieldia calyculata???
« on: May 26, 2010, 03:02:52 PM »
Does it need lime-rich soil or acid soil? All I know it like to grow in a moist/wet conditions.

Thanks in advance, Hans

It's a lime lover, Hans.... not too lime rich, though, I wouldn't think...... :-\

It thrives in moist meadows in the Dolomites, Hans, so lime, whilst not essential, is obviously tolerated quite easily.
