Bog Garden Plants & Landscaping Tips

Creating a bog garden is an excellent solution for low-lying areas with poor drainage. These plants thrive in consistently damp soil but should not be planted directly in standing water. If planting directly in water, specialized aquatic plants are required.

Bog Garden Planting Guidelines

✔ Ideal Location – Choose a spot 1 foot or more away from standing water.
✔ Soil Conditions – Bog plants prefer wet or damp soil, rich in organic matter.
✔ Sunlight Requirements – Most bog plants thrive in partial to full sun conditions.
✔ Plant Selection – Opt for species that can tolerate saturated soil without submersion.
