Plants for Clay Soils
https://langthorns.com/image/cache/catalog/geranium_nimbus88-1000x1000.jpg

Clay soil is usually wet and heavy in winter and shrinks and cracks in dry summers so choosing plants can be tricky.  Digging in organic matter and grit to increase drainage will help change the soils structure to accommodate a larger selection of plants .
