If it's any help, my pasque flower grows on a fairly steep hillside.
I suspect the sharp drainage may also be helping here...
You can see it's situation better on this picture.
And before anyone comments, the weeds purposely remain there to help with hillside soil retention.

Of course, I think all the slopes around here are limestone bluffs,
so that could support MLM's idea about lime preference.
I recall from a thread last year that Pirl uses hunks of concrete in planting holes for alkaline-loving plants.
Bits of broken up concrete are probably more readily available than lime chips.
If Pirl does it, it must be so.
