grass question

Misses-C

Is there a type of grass that requires alot of water?  I ask because our back yeard is always wet. I thought maybe if I added a bit of grass that is a water hog, it could absorb some excess water.

You may have a tough time finding one. I was just in the grass seed aisle and most bags were advertising needing less water consumption rather than more. You could ask a local nursery for recommendations.

Blue grass likes a lot of water, but if you're talking about an area with poor drainage where the soil is always wet, I don't think there's any grass that can survuve that.  You might want to put in a rain garden with plants that need moist soil.

This.

From a horticultural standpoint, ALL turfgrasses are water hogs, but that's not the solution here. You have a bog situation, not a lawn situation.
