Default Grass on water logged garden

The message .com
from "AAJ" contains these words:


Can anyone recommend a grass mix for these wet conditions, that may
survive and even flourish in these type of conditions?


Pampas grass and cortaderia (toe-toe) grass both do spectacularly
well in wet conditions. In your situation I eliminated the swampy
mossridden "lawn" (which couldn't be walked on, let along sat on)
and planted a swamp/ bog garden. The centre is a magnificaent stand of 5
cortaderia, surrounded by gunnera, bullrushes, irises and primulas etc.
The yellow skunk cabbage are going to flower for the first time soon
:-)
