Plants for Wet Feet: Variety and Care
Wet spot in your yard? Make use of it with a wide selection of perennials, trees or shrubs. All of these plants can take a constantly moist soil, but only a few can tolerate standing water.
Tip for planting in wet spaces: Be sure to amend your soil prior to planting! Constant moisture wicks away vital nutrients that support root development and proper growth.
