Title: Re: Acidifying alkaline soil
Sulfur is usually recommended. It is slow acting and you can  find out how much is needed. I would think you would need to make a raised bed to help keep it acid. It is a great plant and worth the effort. Mine is just leafing out and I spied some red flower buds. Nice bark and great fall color.

Back to the acidifying issue, my research suggest elemental sulfur is most commonly used although the reduction in pH occurs over time and is not immediate.

You could grow it in a pot.  I have to grow a lot of plants in pots here in east Tennessee.  Just found a white bloomed one but since I do have acid soil will be planting it out.  I love the bells with butterflies and bees hanging on.
