bushy bog plants for full sun - needed

madtripper
17 years ago

My bog garden is in full sun, and all of my plants seems to be spiky plants like Iris. I'd like ot find some plants that make nice clumps of dense foliage and like the bog. A good example of the form I am looking for is perennial Geranium.

Any suggestions?
