Best Growing Conditions
Upland/Wetland Ratings

Plants do their best when planted in situations that are closest to their
natural habitats. Two important factors are soil moisture content and amount of
light. The following two tables are summaries developed based on numerous books
and catalogs I have read on the plants. Hopefully this will aid as you make
plans for your landscape designs. (Note: the sun/shade table is below the
moisture table.)
Wet or Dry soil - and "x" indicates some of the soil types that the
plant should do well in.
