The bottom of our garden is like a swamp. It does`nt matter what we do, we cant get rid of all the water that accumulates there. If you stand in it you are likely to be ankle deep in mud within seconds. We have heard that there are some plants and flowers that thrive on lots of water. Maybe if we could find out the names, we could plant lots of them and have a wild garden at the bottom. Our garden is 200 feet long by 30 feet wide. About 2 thirds of it is lovely, and have spent years tending to it, but the rest is actually a no go zone. We would much appreciate it if someone could give us an idea.
Many thanks.

elephant ears and cannas grow in ponds and swamps. beautiful foilage on both. also swamp sunflowers are tollerant as well as hibiscuses.
Reply:Plant cattails.....they will actually grow in standing water. I%26#039;m not sure where you are located at but you could plant elephant ears near there (not in permanently standing water) and you could leave them outside in the winter if you are far enough south. Japanese irises do well where it is wet also.
