Plants for Moist Soils 
Many plants will not stand a location that is quite moist a great deal of 
the time. These varieties, however, seem to enjoy 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.

Plants for Dry Soils 
Often it is extremely 
difficult to find plants that will thrive in soil that is 
quite dry. These plants 
are among the best for such situations and when 
established seem to enjoy well-drained and rather dry soil, although some will 
do well under moist soil conditions
