Could you please suggest what kind of shrubs to plant in a very wet area between two lawns, our neighbor's and ours: we both water our lawns and  water  stays on the border of 2 lots all the time.  We planted three bushes but they died and three holes left full of water.  A willow tree is not an option in our case.  Any advice on how to make it works?

Thank you,

Rita. 

Rita,

The following shrubs work great for really wet areas:

Red Chokeberries
Button Bush
Dogwoods - Silky or Redoiser
Elderberries

Thanks,

 Mark
