Which plants would be best for my garden?

I have a flower garden in front of my house and it is enclosed with rocks. It holds a lot of water when it rains and I planted some flowers and they are dieing due to too much water. What would be a good solution to this? and or what is a plant that can survive in a lot of water. {Something pretty} any suggestions?

You don't say where you live, but that is not a problem for you.

Check out the aspect of your garden ie:- (NSEW) so you know where the sun rise/falls; which direction the wind mainly blows etc. Then check out with your neighbours what type of plants do well with them. Most gardeners will tell you and even share some of their plants with you. Its one way of getting to know your neighbours and making and meeting new friends. You can also call into a local plant nursery and ask them for info on plants that do well in your area.

I wish you well for the future.
Reply:I do not know which area ou live in, so.....Check your planting zone. Generally speaking, LA iris and Joe Pye Weed ( their are both small and tall plants- pink or white ones). Bluestone Nursery has a lot of plants that do well in wet areas. The Louisiana Iris are used in water gardens also. If you spend a little more on a perriental plant, they multiply, and come up everyyear. You can plant several types of plants that will bloom all year round. You can always raise the bed. add gravel on bottom, then good soil, this will help with the wet area. Most bulbs will rot in wet areas, they don't like wet feet!
