This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.

Good quality plant from Crocus. Although attractive, it's not outstanding and is handsome rather than beautiful but great for ground cover and pollinators. I have planted it in soil which is not especially moist but it still did well and had plenty of flowers last summer. I'll see how it fares in a drier summer!

Planted at end last summer beginning autumn along with Filipendula We have heavy wet clay soil so choosing plants which like damp/wet Was worried it hadn't survived the worst winter we've had this year as it completely disappeared (No sign of global warming up here !) but now plenty new foliage showing and hopefully be followed by plenty flower spikes

A fantastic, vigorous plant that's a joy to behold. 2 months ago this plant had completely died back to the ground after winter (so very much deciduous in Manchester!), and now it's a huge mass of lush green leaves with a few dozen pretty pink flower spikes. We can go up to it at pretty much any time of the day and find several bees working it, which my 2 year old daughter loves to watch. It's really flourished in one of my boggier beds and the sheer vitality of the plant really is something to see. Fully deserving of the RHS merit award.

Yes, you could create a bog garden for them by planting them over a pond liner or plastic sheeting, but do make sure there are a few holes poked in so some water can drain away. Also, while these plants are tolerant of light shade, they tend to flower best if they are grown in a sunny spot.

Hello Mary, Most flowering plants prefer a sunnier spot, and few plants can cope if the soil remains too wet, however you could consider any of the following Alchemilla http://www.crocus.co.uk/search/_/search.alchemilla/ Ferns http://www.crocus.co.uk/plants/_/ferns/plcid.309/ Helleborus http://www.crocus.co.uk/search/_/search.helleborus/ Hydrangea http://www.crocus.co.uk/search/_/search.hydrangea/ Persicaria http://www.crocus.co.uk/search/_/search.persicaria/ Rhododendron http://www.crocus.co.uk/search/_/search.rhododendron/ Vinca http://www.crocus.co.uk/search/_/search.vinca/ I hope this gives you a few ideas.
