Plants For Clay Soil | Buy Perennials Online UK
Clay soils can be wet and cold making it difficult for some plants to grow. Over the years I have had soil like this so here is a collection of plants that I find have grown well in these conditions. When ordering, to save confusion, please take a note of the plants in this collection as by the time you receive them they may have changed. Featured plants run approximately from tallest (top lefthand corner) to shortest (bottom righthand corner).
