Where to start in Power County
If you have only one spot to fill, sun all day is where Power County gives you the most rated choice (112 plants), and American speedwell (Veronica americana) is the easiest start on that list. Stays soggy is the hard one here: 43 rated plants, so for that spot it is worth asking a local native-plant society about the 134 unrated natives too.
