| I have a 10 foot diameter catch basin that receives rain water from two ditches. It then drains through a pipe into a third ditch and eventually into my neighbor's pond. I would like to plant some sort of ground cover. The catch basin is moist most of the year, but also has standing water during the spring rainy season. I had thought about Lysimachia nummularia aurea (Golden Creeping Jenny), but am concerned about its invasiveness--not so much for me, but for my neighbor.
Is there any ground cover that would survive being under water periodically? I am in zone 8A, and the area is in partial shade of a red bud and a river birch. |
