Wetland
Wetland ecosystems include marshes, swamps, bogs, and wet meadows where soils are saturated or flooded seasonally or year-round. Wetland plants have specialized adaptations—aerenchyma tissue for oxygen transport, shallow roots, and tolerance for anaerobic conditions. These ecosystems are biodiversity hotspots, supporting amphibians, waterfowl, aquatic insects, and countless other species. Wetland plants filter pollutants, slow runoff, prevent erosion, and sequester carbon at exceptional rates. This archetype is essential for rain gardens, bioswales, pond edges, or naturally wet areas. Celebrate the ecological power of wetlands with plants that transform soggy problems into thriving wildlife habitat.
