This flower likes wet conditions so much 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.
Siberian iris can also grow in wet soils in sun or partial shade. Its grassy foliage contrasts nicely with marsh marigold.
HibiscusHardy hibiscus needs full sun and appreciates wet soil. It is slow to start growth in the spring, so marsh marigold steals the show early in the season, and hardy hibiscus takes over when the marsh marigold goes dormant.
RushThe grass-like foliage of rush is perfectly at home in standing water. For extra fun, combine marsh marigold with curlycue spiral rush.
