Utilize the problem areas by planting specific varieties of plant that can survive in tricky situations. A damp and shady area can be used to grow wetland plants that can tolerate shade. Similarly, full sun perennials can be grown in areas that receive scorching sun throughout the day. Ornamental grasses and sedges can be grown to add a vertical presence and movement to the garden. These grasses stand tall and sway in the slightest breeze making the entire landscape come alive.
