Apparent contradiction

I'm totally new to this so forgive me if I am not using this correctly.

In the entry on Hydrangea quercifolia, under Cultivation you say "It prefers slightly acidic soils with a pH of 5.0–6.5." but in the section Distribution and habitat, you say it grows "on calcareous soils, and often where limestone is at the ground surface".

I dont think both can be true, can they? TJHFenton (talk) 21:17, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the (unsourced) statement about calcareous soils. According to others, it prefers acid or neutral soils. Darorcilmir (talk) 21:29, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
