What soil do wild flowers prefer?
It depends on their native soil.





Wild flowers from, say the Lake District will prefer an acid soil, whereas those from the chalky Marlborough Downs will prefer ... chalky soil!





Look up the flowers you want to grow (an internet search). Find out what their natural habitat is, and recreate it in a pot.

Reply:much too broad a question


most prefer a neutral ph7 soil


if you are going to grow wild flowers -i sugest you get a field guide of your local area-it will give preffered growing areas.


hope this helps
Reply:wild soil i guess
Reply:It matters what flower you are talking about. Some require 100's of inches of rain a year and others live in deserts and some grow in rocks...it really matters. But it usally should be neer areas of pollinators (bees, birds, wind, etc)
Reply:I think the answer lies in the soil....................
Reply:Thats what nature is. The flowers that grow in a specific place, grow there because they can.If you took a cutting. or seedling and tried to plant it someplace else, in some other type of soil, it probably wouldnt grow.
Reply:It depends on the region. Wild is the definitive word; the seeds of indigenous plants will migrate (wind, birds, bees) within the area and reproduce there.
