I know S. purpurea ssp purpurea grows in alkaline marl bogs. They stay
smaller and become redder than plants grown in acid soil.

Perhaps you can also grow Drosophyllum lusitanicum. It prefers a well
drained and dryer soil, but I don't know if it can be grow in alkaline
soil. Does anyone on this list know ?

Kind regards
Wim
