Where to start in Marshall County
If you have only one spot to fill, sun all day is where Marshall County gives you the most rated choice (149 plants), and American water-willow (Justicia americana) is the easiest start on that list. Stays soggy is the hard one here: 66 rated plants, so for that spot it is worth asking a local native-plant society about the 357 unrated natives too.
