Bog Plants

Bog plants are species that thrive in wet, swampy conditions, often found in or near bogs, ponds, or other waterlogged areas. These plants are adapted to grow in soils that are consistently saturated with water, making them ideal for water gardens, rain gardens, or naturalistic wetland areas in the landscape. Examples of bog plants include pitcher plants, marsh marigolds, and water iris. Bog plants are typically low-maintenance and can add unique textures and colors to a garden, especially in areas that may be challenging for other types of plants. When designing with bog plants, it's important to ensure that the soil remains consistently moist and that the plants receive the necessary amount of sunlight for their growth. Bog plants also contribute to the ecological health of a garden by providing habitat for wildlife and helping to filter and purify water.
