I have two very small beds in front of my townhouse and am "starting small" in gardening. These beds get full sun all day long and i don't have any other space to work with. Of the material that i put in last year, only my irises, daylilies, leucanthemums (shasta daisies), and peonies have come back so far.
Any suggestions for low-growers to fill in the front portions of the beds, that will thrive in clay soil and full sun?
Best perennials for clay soil?
Oxalis. Great small blooms and nothing bothers them. Creeping phlox if you want a really low grower, though it just blooms in spring. But has a good green color as a carpeting plant. For an annual, california poppies or dwarf zinnias, or petunias. All grow well in clay.
Reply:This site lists a lot of different flowers and grasses, and even gives the zones.
Reply:Lirope, known as monkey grass or mondo grass, or colorful annuals, such as petunias. Your soil must not be to bad if you can grow peonies in it, which I love!
