Answer

How do I choose plants for my soil type?

Match plants to your soil and aspect; plants that suit the conditions thrive with little effort.

In short

Start with what you have: whether the soil is clay, sandy, chalky or loam, and how wet or dry and sunny or shaded the spot is. Plants that suit those conditions thrive with little effort, while fighting the soil means constant work. A planting plan matches the right plants to your actual conditions.
