Care and How To
Many plants grown in the home landscape require consistent moisture throughout the growing season without staying too wet. However, there are a few annuals, perennials, shrubs, and trees that perform well in wet soil conditions. This includes low-lying areas, water edges, or soils with poor drainage. Many of these plants will also tolerate periodic flooding.
