I have some iris Sibirica which I intended to plant
in the boggy bit of the pond but when my hubbie
completed the pond he couldn't quite manage the
bog. So I re-potted them last month, they're not
dying but not thriving either. Could I chance them
in the pond? Or should I find a friend with
a boggy area?

I have I sibirica planted in our pond and they thrive. Just keep the crown
slightly above water level and they will love it. Could replace you I
pseudoacorus with them. They look nicer all summer with their grassy
foliage.
