Plants for Wet Soil Collection
Not all plants like wet soils. This is because they can be prone to rot due to waterlogging which can cause growth problems. So we have put together this collection of plants for wet soil. Whether you have clay soil, poor draining soil, or live in a very wet part of the UK – this collection of hardy perennials is perfect for these conditions. They will thrive in areas of the garden with damp soil that remain wet for most of the year. Some of these are quite bee friendly plants, flowering from spring to autumn. When ordering, to save confusion, please take a note of the plants in this collection as by the time you receive them they may have changed. Featured plants run approximately from tallest (top left hand corner) to shortest (bottom right hand corner).
