A couple of other irises that love wet or damp ground are Japanese
and Louisianas both of which come in many cultivars. I have not the
addresses of nurseries which supply these but you might try Tom's
web page or the AIS one. You have to be careful of the seed pods of
I pseudacorus because the seeds germinate anywhere once they land
on the ground.
