I would like some rooted hydrangea. I have TB iris, siberian iris, wild black berries, lambs ear and some rose of sharon seedings. Penny

A surprising number of regular garden plants can be in the bog if their crown is kept an inch or two above the water. So I'd be looking at any native. Marsh mallow, Althaea, flowers all spring/summer/fall. Some can handle zone 3. There are many species and the root ball isn't that big so could be pulled. Although these get 6' they're fast growers so if you did bring them in you could cut them back. Canna is a fav of mine. They have to be pulled in winter in any pond, so no additional work for you. Even here in Phoenix they have to be pulled every year and divided or they don't look as nice. Calla Lily, same deal.

Okay, too neat to pass up....I will send you a direct email! Michele

Now have 2 rhizomes of a historic pale lavendar (unnamed). See my post have iris for iris
