As some of
us trod the sodden earth of our backyards we’re wondering if cattails and
weeping willows should be plants to help suck up some of this excess moisture
in the future. And to most of us we thought these were the only plant choices out
there.
Jack-in-the-Pulpit,
Lily of the Valley, and Sweet Woodruff love the shade. Sweet Flag, Siberian
Iris & some other Iris like the Louisiana Iris prefer wet soils. Mints, Bee
Balms enjoy part shade and have a wonderful smell.
So if you
have a bog, or a potential Everglade situation don’t think you’re stuck with
the crying willows or the Redwinged Blackbird magnets, planting those are only going
to tell passers-by “Hey Everybody! I’ve got a water problem”.
