3' X 24' area. Shade in winter, 4-5 hours of sun in summer. After rain, has standing water (shallow) for days. Have planted Papyrus & Umbrella plants. Need SOME COLOR. Any suggestions on something that will grow in these conditions? A hard one I know! Thanks, Ron

0	Have you considered Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinali), Heliotropium indicum (Turnsole), Herbertia lahue, Hibiscus laevis (Rosemallow), or Spiderlily (Hymenocallis liriosme)? All will grow in moist soil. Best wishes with your landscape!
