| I've recently moved, and my new lawn has a large boggy area. This past summer it stayed wet all summer long, but we did have an unusually wet summer. However, neighbors tell me this area is ALWAYS wet in the winter months, often with standing water.
I need suggestions on plants that will thrive under such conditions, and can also take some dryer conditions during the hottest months. Currently there are a lot of those yellow iris growing there, and a cypress tree. I don't want to remove either of these, just add to the mix. The are gets quite a bit of direct sun, both morning and afternoon---mostly a south-southwestern exposure. |
