Province, ecozone, local range, light, and water duration all matter. A hardiness zone helps describe climate; it does not establish that a species is native nearby or can tolerate saturated soil.</p> <p>Start by describing the site. Is the ground moist, seasonally flooded, or wet for long periods? Does water stand after rain? Is the soil mineral or peat-based? Does the site receive full sun or canopy shade? Southern Ontario’s ecological classification distinguishes wetland settings such as swamps, fens, bogs, and marshes; those labels describe different vegetation and site contexts, not interchangeable garden conditions.</p>
