Very few plants thrive in a soil that is truly alkaline - that is, above pH7 (7 being neutral, neither alkaline nor acidic). Those that do, such as the peony and alfalfa will tolerate only up to about pH7.5, or just barely alkaline.

The vast majority of plants prefer slightly acidic soil, between pH 6 and 7, but a few such as the orchid and the blueberry will thrive in very acid soil as low as pH4.5.
