HELP!....Off the back of my deck, we have water runoff, what plants can I plant there that can take a runoff water area? I tried putting 3 gardenia bushes and 4 butterfly bushes there but none were doing well because of too much runoff water off the deck, so just recently moved them to a spot where they will thrive. But now am stumped as to what to plant. Someone told me "tall decorative grasses"...HELP!

Tried Ivy before I I tried putting 3 gardenia bushes and 4 butterfly bushes there but none were doing well because of too much runoff water off the deck, so just recently moved them to a spot where they will thrive. Ivy has barely grown in 6 years.
Yews, Tea Olives and Impatiens! Hopefully these will fare better than the gardenias- we moved those to help them thrive in another area- this foto was taken the day we planted them March 18th.
Yews, Tea Olives and Impatiens on April 6 3 weeks after planting them.

Weeping Willows love water but keep them away from your house & pipes!

Thanks everyone! We decided on Yews and Tea Olive trees as you can see in the updated picture.
