Ok guy I'm up just north of Detroit and I have a new lawn client that needs some shrubs replaced around a transformer in his yard. The ground is at best moist all the time at worst wet with water pushing out when you walk in the area. What kind of shrub's would you guy plant around the area that will not die in the wet ground.
Thanks

I don't know much about plants in that area but you also did not give much information either.
Why is it wet all the time? What type of soil, clay, sandy, Loam?
What type of sun...... exposure.
The list goes on.
