Some plants don’t need rich soil at all.

Plants That Can Grow in Any Condition

Appearances can be deceiving, and lavender is a perfect example. 

This plant actually thrives in soils that are low in nutrients, preferring dry, rocky, and slightly alkaline conditions with a soil pH above 6.5. 

Native to the Mediterranean mountain regions, lavender flourishes in sunny, rocky areas where many other plants struggle to survive.

Yarrow is another hardy plant, native to temperate grasslands throughout the Northern Hemisphere.

Often seen growing along highways, yarrow's resilience makes it an excellent choice for prairie-style planting, especially if you're concerned about soil quality.

This perennial can withstand tough conditions and still thrive.

Wild chicory, a biennial plant, won't bloom until its second year.

However, if you have a wild patch and a love for wildflowers, chicory is well worth the wait. 

Its blue, daisy-like flowers are particularly striking when bathed in the evening sun, adding a special touch to any garden.

These plants are not only beautiful but also incredibly resilient, making them ideal for gardens where soil conditions are less than perfect.
