Liverwort and very wet soil

I have recently moved to Ayr . The wet conditions are new to me as came from the south east . I have a very thin path edging border which is full of liverwort . I have removed most of it and turned the soil over and would like to plant something to fill it . Would the chameleon plant be ok or maybe some sort of sedum? I understand that drainage is the problem so will try and add grit or sand . Thanks for the add to the group . Hope to learn lots .

 

Hello and Welcome to Gardeners Corner.
A Chamelion plant likes moist soli and Sedum likes well draining soil and sunshine, so I don't think your border would suit both. Since there's a lot of Liver wort there I would think the soil is damp so you'd be better with Chamelion plant. It does tend to spread a lot though.

 

Liverworts are not something I see much of but I have a feeling they say something about the soil, as well as the dampness.
Its probably very heavy and possibly compacted, possibly acidic?

 

It’s very acidic and very compact do loosening it up

 

Thank you . Yes it’s very wet here and I have some chameleon plant out the front so I think I can prob take some and transplant it. Anything really to stop the liverwort building up .It’s time consuming to remove . ​

 

Yes very wet and very compacted . Acidic soil also . I came from chalky Buckinghamshire so this is all new to me . Lol
