Cheryl Newman on Jul 21, 2013I have a similar area in my yard. We have a willow tree there, but they require a lot of room. We also have joe pye weed, swamp milkweed, cat tails, big blue stem grass, spiderwort, ferns, wild ginger, aster, cardinal flower, hardy ageratum, hardy hibiscus, native iris, black eyed susan....lots of choices. Make sure you get rid of any weeds and grass that are currently growing there and add compost to improve the soil. good luck and have fun!Helpful Reply

Suzette Trimmer on Jul 26, 2013The area I am trying to grow something as opposed to swamp grass that the children and I are always slipping and sliding into uk....I was trying a low lying succulent not sure of name but grows quickly thrives in small areas completely wet soil. The green succulent looks like a small thick green vine but only sorta of vineish and it produces small yellow flowers at different times. Any Ideas? Suggestions.Helpful Reply
