With all the rain that we have had recently, the soil is to wet to do much to it but there are plants that love the wet ground.They will thrive in soil that others just won't grow in.

Examples of these are Astilbes, Some varieties of Iris, Ligularia and Primulas.

Most will die down to virtually nothing during the winter months, so need very little attention, just a tidy up and cut down the dead foliage to keep things tidy and in spring they will spring back into life and give you colour in that wet part of the garden that you thought nothing will ever grow successfully.

Astilbes give lovely colourful spikes of flower in June, July in various shades of pink , red and whites.
