Need Help with Wet Yard

Hello all, I live in a mobile home court. I need help on what can I plant (plant wise) in my front yard to soak up a lot of water? There must be some kind of plant that loves a lot and can grow in a very wet yard. This would help me so much. Help if you can.

First off if you live in a mobile home park and there is an issue with water in your yard you should contact the owner of the park. There is a drainage problem in your yard or you could have a broken pipe that is under the ground that is keeping it wet all the time. Your ground should not be so wet all the time and there is an issue. I know in mobile home parks you are required to pay rent for the lot your mobile home sits on. The owner of the lot has to maintain the lot and make sure there are no issues at all.

I would start off by contacting them first and telling them your problem before you invest money in any type of plant and plant them in your yard. Too much water will rot the root of so many plants and in return, this can cause a lot of problems with bugs. I for one would not invest in any plants at this time until the drainage problem has been taken care of.

The plants I will suggest will deal with mostly the area you live in. I will need to know what state you live in to pick the best types of plants for your area.

Most tropical plants you can do(with sun) . Liriope, Monkey Grass, Iris, Canna, Water Hyssop, Elephants Ear, Swamp Hisbiscus, Cattail , and more. Make sure there is sun to grow, and that it is ok to grow in your complex.

We just planted Weeping Willow Trees in my mother in law and brother in laws yards for this purpose. They love the moisture.

There's also many moisture loving flowers for a wet spot too. Opt for food source native plants for your area.
