Bog Plants
Bog plants thrive in the damp margins between land and water, creating a rich transition zone teeming with life. Their roots help stabilise soggy ground while filtering runoff, improving water quality. Frogs, toads, and newts shelter in their lush foliage, and their flowers, often tall and nectar-rich, attract bees, butterflies, and hoverflies. Some species provide seedheads for birds in autumn, while their dense growth offers cover for small mammals and insects. Perfect for the edges of ponds or in dedicated bog gardens, these plants turn waterlogged areas into thriving habitats, blending beauty with ecological function.
