I have some places in my yard that I'm tired of trying to improve. I don't want raised beds either. Besides canna, what can I grow? I know there's something out there!

| Japanese Iris (Iris ensata), Lobelia siphilitica, Cyperus papyrus, Star grass, Epipactum gigantea (Stream orchid), Mimulus cardinalis, Hibiscus moeschuetos to name a few. Take a look at pond plants. There are many marginals which would work just fine. wanda |

| Joe Pye weed (Eupatorium) is another good one if you need something tall.It blooms all summer long. |

| Find a book on pond plants and try anything recommended for bog gardens. I use astilbes, daylilies, creeping jenny, chameleon plant, and siberian iris. I have some hardy hibiscus back a bit where it's not quite as soggy. |
