Perennials for Damp & Dry Climates

Assess your area's moisture level before you pick your perennials.

Some perennials thrive in constantly moist settings, such as bogs or marshes.

  • Marsh Marigold (Caltha palustris)
  • Turtlehead (Chelone lyonii)

  • Mallow (Hibiscus moscheutos)
  • Bigleaf Ligularia (L. dentate)
  • Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinalis)
  • Japanese Primrose (Primula japonica)

Some lovely irises like wet conditions:

  • Louisiana irises (hybrids and species of Iris foliosa, I. fulva, I. gigantic-caerulea): Flowers in many colors.
  • Dorothea K. Williamson: A cultivar with wine-red blossoms; is the hardiest.
  • Yellow flag iris (I. pseudacorus): Bright yellow flowers in late spring, arching foliage wands.
