Plant Combo for Clay Soil

Soil amending costs time and money! Selecting the right plants that can thrive in clay soil can make the difference between having a successful landscape and having unhealthy plants. In this video, I share a great plant combo that can do well in clay soil and create a nice cohesive aesthetic for the garden. These are all fairly low maintenance plants as well and are incredibly easy to grow.

Echium fastuosum (Pride of Madeira) is a large bold shrubs with massive conical flowers. They are super easy to grow and very drought tolerant. Echium does well on the coast, however make sure it doest spread into unwanted areas as it has the potential to become invasive in coastal regions.

Agave americana (Century Plant) is another plants that does incredibly well in clay and other poor soils. Its extremely low maintenance and very easy to grow. It's dusty blue gray foliage makes it a wonderful accent plant to attract the eye in the garden.

Achillea (Yarrow) is small perennial that also can thrive in clay conditions. It brings vibrancy and life to the landscape with it's prolific blooms... and they come in so many different colors! My favorite is Achillea Moonshine, but there are also other great varieties like Paprika Yarrow and Woolly Yarrow. Can't go wrong with these!

Perovskia (Russian Sage) is right up there among my favorites. I can do well in clay, and provides a blast of lavender color blooms in the Spring and Summer. They are very drought tolerant and deciduous during the cold months.

Last but certainly not least is Hemerocallis (Daylily). These are notorious for growing in poor soils which is what makes them so popular. They can be planted in poor conditions but will still produce a bounty of colorful blooms year after year.

I hope this video helps spark some ideas for your landscape.

Happy planting!
