2. I couldn't find any evergreens suited to those conditions. Any
suggestions for winter interest plants that can tolerate soggy soil?

I would check the pH of the water there and see if it is perhaps too basic
for the cedars you may be limited elsewhere.

Irises which can be plants 4' high and cala lilies like bog conditions. They
can be planted both underwarer and with sub surface water. The larger Iris'
more resemble hedge than their smaller varieties. If you have significant
standing water, water lillies could work. It would be worth doing some local
research to see which varieties would be best in your area. Winter interest
may not be as interesting as it is in my more temperate area.
