Water loving perennials?

Jayme on Mar 29, 2013Native Iris love the water. Blue Flag is in Michigan and there is also a Louisianna version as well. In Michigan we find them a lot along river banks.Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Mar 30, 2013Here's a list of plants from the Morton Arboretum of plants, including perennials, that are happy in wet sites. Those that will take an extended period of flooding are indicated by an asterisk: http://www.mortonarb.org/tree-plant-advice/article/853/plants-tolerant-of-wet-sites.htmlHelpful Reply

360 Sod (Donna Dixson) on Mar 31, 2013for a ground cover you can use creeping jenny. I always enjoy twig dogwoods, (though a shrub and not a perennial.) in wet situations. Brass Black Buttons is a cutie for wet areas too. Crocosmia will also fare pretty well in a moist environment You could use horsetail, but it might become invasive. .Helpful Reply

Susan Stodola on May 01, 2015You didn't say how big of an area you are dealing with and for how long it is wet. Would it be possible to actually nake a little pond? Or perhaps line the area with rocks to fasilitate the run off and use the area to stage some cute water resistant lawn ornaments.Helpful Reply
