what zone do you live in that will make a difference


cornell has a list of shrubs for moist sites

I use red osier dogwood, azaleas, double mock orange, virginia sweetspire, nandina and Glossy abelia in some areas that are quite moist.


hope that helps.

Try Hosta or Ferns. There are several varieties of both.
Reply:Rhodies is my first thought.





Blueberries, and huckleberries (same Genus) are good too.





Some willows, like arctic willow. Its a small shrubby species, not like those tall tree willows.





Go to that Cornell site.
