âFireworksâ rodgersia (Rodgersia âFireworksâ) is a shade-loving perennial growing in USDA zones 5 through 8. This plant is tolerant of wet sites and produces pink flower spikes in the summer that grow to about 3 feet tall.

How to Correct Acidic Soil or Alkaline Soil. The acidity or alkalinity of the soil is measured by pH (potential Hydrogen ions). Basically it is a measure of the amount of lime (calcium) contained in your soil, and the type of soil that you have. Generally, soils in moist climates tend to be acid and those in dry climates are alkaline. A soil with a pH lower than 7.0 is an acid soil and one with a pH higher than 7.0 is alkaline.
