Charlotte, NC – Clay Soil and High Sun Exposure

Question

Want to plant along side of house flowering plants that will survive the high heat and sun in clay mixed soil. Does Bluestar work for that area?

Answer 1

This is a pretty hardy plant and is drought tolerant, so may do well there. Just to help it out a bit, I would recommend working in a bit of peat moss into the soil before planting or even just laying the peat moss on top of the soil after planting.This will make the soil a little less harsh and will improve its ability to hold a little more water.
