Wildflower seeds would probably fail. There are, however, a number of things you could plant that would not harm the wetland but spruce it up a bit.

You could plant things like sedges, rushes, water iris, pickerel weed. These would add color to the area and still be very natural so that there would not be any problems with the agencies that established and/or oversee the area.

I agree with the previous answer - add things that naturally grow in wetlands. And if they are plants that are native to your own area they will do much better and there will be no danger of introducing some plant that will take over the area.

There might even be an agency in your state that has a website telling what plants are native to your state's wetlands.

Thank you for your response (I'm glad that I didn't go out & buy Wildflowers).
