Sites with heavy, waterlogged, or poorly draining soils need plants that can cope with constant moisture and occasional flooding.

These hardy, resilient species provide evergreen structure, habitat for wildlife, and year-round interest, making them perfect for gullies, swales, or low-lying garden areas.
