Bog Plants

Which bog garden plants will thrive in partial to full shade?

I'm intrigued by the idea of a bog garden. Raising the elevation of the low spot might be impractical because this low spot is probably exacerbated by gutters/roof runoff where the houses are very close together.

First thing you want to do is to make sure the water runoff will not erode any garden you want to establish.
Marsh Marigolds, Jack n Pulpit, Trillium's, and Trout Lilies have done well in my own bog area; a few were given as gifts and are not typically available for purchase, but the Jack n Pulpit and Trillium's are available at most larger nurseries and propagate quickly. I have found a lot of woodland and bog material at sites where they are clearing for construction and thus no issues with removal of protect flora.
Also try various mosses as a bearer around th bog area; moss looks great and and does a great job of assisting in keep the area structured for retaining water.
Have fun and good luck.
