Are there plants that grow in spaces that get extremely wet and dry?

We have finally been given permission to put flowers or whatever between the space of our building and the grass. The area is where the awning hangs over. When it rains, it pours and the area is flooded. During dry spells, the area is extremely dry. I would love to put flowers there. Do you know of wet-dry flowers?

Try anything in the Yucca family. Red-Hot Poker's are very rarely ever seen. All my neighbors have tried to grow them %26amp; can't. I even bought them the seeds from my supplier(same that I used). Cleome's also have this characteristic. I tend to look for different flavors than the norm, and all my neighbors have tried gleaning from them, and noone else succeeds!! I've even cut wayward rosebushes back and polked a hole in the dirt and VIOLA more roses. They tend to be smaller than the original but they're still roses!!

Reply:There is no wet-dry flowers. You have to pick either wet flowers or dry flowers. It can't be both.





I have never heard of flower that does wet and dry at the same time.
Reply:The real problem is finding something that can stand being battered by the downpour of rain, and I can't think of anything. You might be better off with containers that you can move out of the way when you anticipate a downpour.
