Dvorak Feb 2019 10:40am, 28 Feb 2019 17,283 posts	0 Dvorak Do sunflowers like acid soil? I grew a couple next to an enormous camelia last year. It's also just occurred to me that I could probably put my blueberry bushes straight into the soil (currently, they live in pots). I had a soil tester somewhere.
