They need a lot of water, almost daily soaking. And they’re greedy, good feed twice per week.
Aluminium sulphate in the soil if you want them blue. And I also put coffee grounds in the soil.

This is what happens in my bed that borders neighbour's oak tree hedge / forest.
Stuff will just about grow if I continually mulch / fertilise / water. It's a struggle and even then I think I'm mainly helping the next door oak thicket.

Perhaps a combination of green manure plants, tilling over and digging in some horse poo / spent mushroom composts works?
It'll take time but our full sun clay patch is full of weeds which generate soil.
Geraniums are also nearly unkilleable maybe they work for you?
Supposedly preventative pissing keeps foxes out but never had to try it :)

My hydrangeas all died almost immediately. I have a bed where nothing grows, full sun, clay, neighbours shrubs suck all nutrients out of the soil and most plants wither and die, foxes piss on what’s left.
