There are a great deal of pond plants which actually fair much better in bog conditions, like irises, there are also many ferns and wildflowers available which do well in bog conditions.
Bog plants generally like very rich soil, so mixing in lots of compost or manure into the bog area is always a good idea to do before planting any plants in it .

Floating Hearts, Water Fringe and Water Poppies are also plants which do well in bog conditions .
