I have a small damp spot in my yard. I originally put in Texas Sage but
they hate damp roots so the died. Now I am looking for something else
to put there.

The bed is against the house. There are yellow lantana, red salvia, and
compact nandina in the bed.

I had thought about horsetail but they seem too invasive.

Like palms? If so Texas palmetto (_Sabal minor_) could be a candidate.
Can tolerate both wet alkaline soils and drought. Mine aren't the
toughest plants I have but pretty close to it, growing 100% neglected
down by the creek. You can see them at Lady Bird and buy them from the
usual suspects: Barton Springs Nursery and the Natural Gardener.
