Which summer plants can grow in clay soil?Updated 8 days ago

Young plants and bulbs can struggle when planted directly into clay, particularly heavy clay, so it is best to start them off in temporary pots with multipurpose compost to allow them to establish a strong root system and some healthy top growth before planting out. When planting out, it is a good idea to include grit, compost or sand to aid drainage and loosen the soil structure which will aid new root growth. View the range of summer varieties which are suitable for clay soil here.
