My soil wants to go that way. Bugleweed seems to like it; persistent ground
cover after spring bloom, a bit invasive but easy to pull; choice of leaf
colors. And bleeding heart, in my experience. It's a little bigger but it
will go dormant early in full sun. Ferns, but after having spent years
cleaning ferns out of places where I didn't want them, I wouldn't use ferns
in this context. Foxglove goes crazy here, too.
Googling shows this list.

I built a large raised bed for three blueberry bushes and now find that I
have plenty of empty ground between the shrubs. I used a couple bales of
peat moss and lots of aluminum sulfate to lower the bed's pH to 5.5. Are
there annuals or small perennials that will grow in such acid soil, in full
sun and in USDA Zone 5a?
Any suggestions?
