If you’re gardening on chalk soil or planting in very free draining conditions, consider our range of plants for chalk soil. Naturally alkaline, and often rich in calcium carbonate, chalk soils provide the ideal natural conditions for many Mediterranean and drought tolerant varieties to thrive such as lavender or eryngiums. With drought tolerant, pollinator friendly planting schemes gaining popularity, our pick of the best plants for chalk soils can also be used as a guide for your gravel garden or dry garden planting schemes when planting directly into free draining substrates or sandy soils.
