Bog Plants

These are plants that thrive where soils are permanently damp or wet.

This might be at pond edges or in parts of gardens where the soil is too wet for other plants to grow happily.

Some bog plants are truly great flowering or foliage plants and others are unusual or collectible.

Bog plants are so diverse and beautiful that you may want to create a bog garden just so that you can grow them.

There are bog plants that grow happily in full sun, full shade or anything in between, some are so versatile that they will happily grow anywhere as long as they have wet feet.
