I am wondering what plants, specifically a nice flowering groundcover that doesn't grow very high, will be happy in my alkaline hard clay yard without me having to change the soil. I am in Seattle, WA with a climate of 8b, and the area is in full sun. Thank you!

If amending the clay soil is not an option, plants such a low growing viburnum's, euonymus, juniper, cranesbill or salvias may do well. These articles should help
