Looking for a perennial that does well in wet poor draining soil. Hoping to plant something to help soak up some of the water other than cattails I don’t want that swampy look in the yard. Maybe even a mix of flowers and shrubs would look nice. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated we will be shopping at the east green bush store.

Here’s a link to a list of wet-tolerant perennials.

These plants will grow in those conditions but I wouldn’t expect any of them to actually dry the area out much.
