I know native ones that will work, but hoped to find something more ornamental. The soil is somewhat thin and there is clay deeper down. This means the plant must be able to withstand some wet roots in winter. Sometimes mounding a bed works, but with drainage being a problem in winter,we can easily have water back-up in some locations. Any ideas? Willows?
