Hi,
Attached is a picture of our problem area. This is in deep wooded shade with only maybe an hour of light coming through the hole in the canape where we just lost a tree this spring. This area is soggy wet (if you step into it, you sink 2")12 months of the year. We have planted Hosta Lancifolia 14 years ago along the right edge of the path and it is thriving. I added H. Ventricosa two years ago and it is alive and blooming, but not growing as well as the Lancifolia. There also is a patch of Pachysandra that is also thriving. I tried planting some Ostrich fern those on the perimeter are doing good. The ones in the center, didn't make it. I planted a Clethra 'Hummingbird' and it is doing good if the deer would just leave it alone. I would like to plant some more bushes or flowering perennials. What will survive having it's feet wet 12 months of the year and bloom? Farfugium? Liriope? Astilbe? I am looking for something other than just a ground cover if possible?
