Landscape Plants for Difficult Sites
When selecting annuals, perennials, and other plants, choose those that are adapted to the growing conditions at the planting site. Most landscape plants prefer moist, well-drained soils in full sun. However, there are plants that will tolerate more difficult sites such as excessively wet or dry.
