Damp or waterlogged soil is
caused by poor drainage.
The most common cause of this is clay soil although other features
can be responsible.
Most plants don't like waterlogged conditions and those that
do have more in common
with aquatic plants than land plants.
Plants for Boggy Ground:
*Astilbe
*Irises
*Primulas
This is just 3 examples of plants that will grow in what is
