That Soggy Spot: Wet-Tolerant Plants: Look out for our sign
We have an entire area of the nursery dedicated to perennials, trees, and shrubs that can handle getting their feet wet. These plants can grow at the edges of ponds or streams, or they can be used in rain gardens, which are areas that get wet and dry.
Dawn Redwoods, River Birch, Golden Curly willows, Dappled Willows, Winterberries, Clethra, and Ligularia, just to name a few.
Look out for the sign in the nursery, or just ask us. We have a solution for that soggy spot.
