Q&A: Plants for Damp Soil
National Gardening Association
Question: I have a flowerbed that is very wet in the spring and damp
all summer. What flowers can I grow here?
Answer: Most plant roots need oxygen to survive or they will rot, so if the ground is continually wet consider bog or marsh plants. Some possibilities include many different iris (Japanese iris, Louisiana iris, Siberian iris), yellow flag, swamp sunflower (Helianthus angustifolius), sweet woodruff, monkshood, baneberry, swamp milkweed, false spiraea, marsh marigold, sedges, horsetails, and Chrysanthemum serotinum.

It would be so much more helpful tp your readers if you would list the city, state, or zone to which the "Plant" and "Q&A" articles pertain. I am a new, novice gardener and am not familiar with the local to which you are referring.
Thank you,
