water loving plants

19 years ago

I live in the Dallas area and have a beautiful new oversized fountain that sprays water within 1 or 2 feet of the fountain. The soil stays wet constantly. I have elephant ears in another area, but the area near the fountain would not be big enough for the "ears". Any suggestions on a water thriving planting??

I don't know the recommended zones for Society Garlic.It comes with green folliage and also varigated. I never see anyone mention it, but I have it and it grows beautifully and has tiny blue flowers. It does really well both in water and out of water in my area 7b. Also Canna Lilies do great and I think they grow anywhere. Glenda
