Bog Plants
Hello out there
Can anyone suggest some suitable plants for a marshy area at the side of the pond? preferably something that will trail into the water. Bearing in mind that I live in the north of England by the sea, so it must be frost tollerant and also be able to cope with some salt in the air. Thanks Andrew |

I'm in Cambridgeshire, but find acorus, sagittaria and rheum (real rhubarb, not the one usually sold as a marginal/bog plant) all work well in the shallows. Gert the DG Hessayon "Rock and Water Garden Expert" book for other suggestions. -- Brian Sig: I have nothing to say |

Bog Plants
Sedum, flag (variegated is nice), many irises (NOT bearded! - Siberian,
Louisiana), mint (but it will have to be weeded on occasion - I have chocolate by the pond and it is easy to manage), chameleon plant (my favorite) http://henryfields.com/item_disp.asp...282&EID=GHF416 .
