Clay soil, south facing

[DustyLee123]

I’m looking for two plants to go in clay soil, south facing. I want them to be about 1 or 2 feet tall, with flowers. What do you recommend?

Roses cope well in my clay soil, not much else does.

I’ve got a couple of roses but they are bigger than what I’m looking for. I want them to sit either side of a tree, so around 2 feet high.

Hardy geraniums. Geranium Rozanne does brilliantly in my south facing, heavy clay border.

Day lilies grow so well in my clay soil they are a darn nuisance! Also those big white daisies (Shasta) and every euphorbia I have tried. Japanese anemone, bergenia, acanthus, Montbretia.
My garden faces south also.

Magnolias do well in clay.

Out last garden was more clay than soil.

Day lilies
Astilbe and
Japanese Anemones all did well.

I have a South facing garden with clay soil. Best plants I have of this size are erysimum bowles mauve which flower 9 or 10 months of the year, English lavender, azaleas and rhododendrons and viburnum
