Lavender grows best, and flowers smell better if its in very poor dirt

can the experts please supply some more names of shrubs that need similar soil etc! I have 1/4 acre to fill, and I need as many ideas as possible (drought tolerant would be good)

Lavenders like a dressing of lime in the autumn

Agree. I cut my English lavender back at the end of January and give it a dressing of lime.

I give my lavender's a feed of worm wee or sheep pellets every fortnight - it certainly hasn't 'harmed' them, in fact they're very bushy and healthy now :)

any of the proteas or leucadendrons are drought tolerant ( they're from Sth Africa ) like sandy soil - no clay and absolutely no fertiliser or they will die.
