I'm trying to find some plants that I can put in an area at the edge of my yard which thrives in very damp conditions. I live on a large hill and I believe there is a spring at the top. We built our home about 3 years ago and that area stays very wet. In the Winter it is like an ice rink out there.

I also read another post where the poster had conditions similar to mine. However, whereas they appeared to have a VP, I believe I have a marsh as it stays wet all year and most of the time has visible standing water. I can go out at any time and find orange salamanders.

I'm mainly trying to soak up some of the water to keep it away from our foundation and secondarily make it more visually appealing.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian
