Can you grow Elephant Ears up there? Mine live in a pretty wet area.

How about some of the ornamental grasses? I understand they can take wet conditions. Maybe also the red or yellow twig dogwoods?

Talk to a good local nursery, and get their advice.

The red or yellow dogwoods would be good. Most ornamental grasses prefer to be on the dry side. Experiment with bog plants. I have a similar spot and use daylilies, siberian irises, creeping jenny, chameleon plants, and astilbes.

I have a sunny wet area like that. Maybe these will work: (after the plants grew, the soil didn't stay so wet) Winterberry holly, daylillies, chokeberries, bog iris, mock orange, rose of sharon, sedum, houtyannia(sp?), siberian iris, hosta. Just plant and try. I've found that some things that work in my yard,won't in a neighbors yard and viceversa. Good Luck

go to www.prairienursery.com and do a select plants by habitat. you can put it in shade wet clay etc and it will give you a list of plants appropriate for that habitat. you dont have to buy your plants from them, but it will give you a list that you can use to look at a local nursery or seed exchange.
