Standing water

16 years ago

I have an area in the corner of my house that water stands in after it rains. I would like to know what plants or shurbs can I plant there that the standing water will now hurt. I need to do this because of the mud. The water does drain back into the ground but it takes several days. If you can help me I would really appreciate it.

It would help knowing where you are??? Otherwise check with a local nursery.
