    Love this Video. I'm from NORTH TEXAS area but there's alot you mentioned that I have. Didn't know peonies was on the list. I expanded my list😅😅😅😅. Yay.. more garden plants to buy. Lol. My area is hard clay and I have amended well. But this yr, I'm expanding 😂

    I garden in heavy clay in VA. Luckily, there are 13 huge oaks. Leaf drop is by the truckload. Nov. is time to mulch leaves and spread onto beds. This has resulted in beautiful top soil at this point. In the shade garden, the leaves are left whole as habitat for pollinators. Violets have taken over as ground cover. More and more, I’m trying to get the land SUSTAINABLE, without chemical imports of any sort. The lawn trails are mostly clover which is nitrogen fixing. I was told that this feeds underground for quite a distance. Anyway, the bees and rabbits adore the clover.

    Here in mid Missouri our clay is so good, it grows rocks! lol. This is exactly the list I need. Also btw we have a Lavender Chiffon rose of sharon that my wifes late mother planted. It never bloomed until the year she passed and now the thing is about 14 ft tall. It doesn't seed but I've done air layered cuttings that have successfully been transplanted to our front yard. I plan on taking 4-5 more cuttings next spring and making a whole row of them.

    I got very heavy clay in the community garden I take care of, and out of those plants, there are some that I would not really recommend. Monarda and echinacea would work in a soil with a bit of clay, but not in clay that stays water logged in winter, no way. In my garden I have to use those on the little mounds that were dug up when the city created the garden. They're 1 meter above the paths, so drain a lot better. In that, I can do monardas, eupatorium, most types of asters, agastaches, centaureas, echinaceas... In the bottom part of the garden, the one that often stays water logged in winter, I need different plants. Some eryngiums will do ok, as well as echinops. And then it's the humid soil plants like campanulaes, achillea ptarmica, aconitum, aquilegia, rudbeckia, inula, some asters and some not, thalictrum, euphorbias, astrantia. Very few plants will adapt to both, but there are achillea filipendulina will, artemisia ludoviciana, papaver orientale, the stipas (weirdly enough), and many sage species, as well as many perennial geraniums. I would like to try alchemilla mollis, but for some reason it does not want to germinate from seeds... And that's how I do almost all my plantings.
    If we're talking shrubs, it's much easier. Cratægus, spirea, most prunus, viburnum, buxus, sambucus, amelanchia, euonymus europaeus, berberis...

      The positive thing about clay is that it is nutrient dense. Look at the huge old trees that grow in clay. The trick is to get enough loose surface at the top so seedlings can take hold. Once they get going, the roots know what to do!

    just so you know, many (bit not all) of the perennials you mention that are not usually thought of as "food"? are edible. Daylilies (NOT other lillies!) Hosta, roses, even one single variety of Asclepias! and bee balm and many other herbs are perennial (and some love my clay soil, although some dont)
    I used to live in Philadelphia, and used the community garden at Benjamin Rush State Park... and we joked that we should set up a pottery wheel, not a garden!

    Hey Laura, I have a quick question do you have a problem with Rose Rosetta in your area. I live in North Texas, and then the 2000s knockout roses were planted by the thousands all along the highways and shopping centers. This caused a devastating effect on the spread of rose Rosetta. I have literally taken out all my roses and have several of my friends. I see lots of them in the Dallas area stealing shopping centers that look so sad people really don’t know the difference. In all you end up with is a thorny ugly bloomed rose. The activity center for special-needs adults that I work at love to watch you every day. We are planting Walla Walla onions, we started them in water jugs and are getting ready to transplant to grow bags due to very limited space. Have a wonderful day.
