PLANTS FOR MOIST SOILS 
MOST plants will not stand a location that is quite moist a great 
deal of the time. These varieties, however, do not seem to mind 
considerable moisture if proper drainage is provided. In many 
cases it increases their growth and gives them finer foliage. 
Care must be used in choosing varieties that will best suit your 
particular location and we are prepared to help you plan correctly.
