Marsh marigold
This flower likes wet conditions so much that it's often recommended for bog and water gardens where it lights things up with bright yellow flowers. A native of wetlands, marsh marigold forms foot-tall mounds of foliage topped with 1- to 2-inch-wide yellow blooms (a white form is also available) in early spring. It's also a good selection for chronically soggy or poorly drained sites. It often goes dormant after it blooms.

Iris
Siberian iris can also grow in wet soils in sun or partial shade. Its grassy foliage contrasts nicely with marsh marigold.

RushThe grasslike foliage of rush is perfectly at home in standing water. For extra fun, combine marsh marigold with curlicue spiral rush.
