Answer 1

Hosta lilies with large leaves to collect light in shade.

Reason: hostas are freshwater garden plants that lack salt- and flooding-tolerance; they don’t tolerate brackish/saline water, tidal inundation, or the anoxic, salty mud of estuaries, whereas mangroves, seagrass-like submerged grasses, and rushes are adapted to those conditions.
