If it's in shade as well, there are ferns which enjoy those conditions, or try Astilbe and Aruncus

If it's a sunny spot, you have lots of choice - Ligularia, Primula bulleyana, P. florindae, P. pulvurenta,Lythrum salicaria, Rodgersia, Darmera peltata, Iris laevigata, Iris pseudacorus, Zantedeschia aethiopica 'Crowborough', Mimulus cardinalis and Filipendula palmata or F. purpurea, just to give you a few examples.

I hope this helps.

it seams to me that your plants are geting dround , I feal a soakaway coming on. I think you should get some one to dig a deep hole there and through old broken bricks or rocks or stones or every thing you can get your hands on,in to the bottom then replace the soil, I am talking to a lady ,if not get your spade mate, after that grow what ever you want there MG even me a Welsh man know's it should be scot's never scottish
