drowned impatiens

[KayJay]

Hi I have some dead impatiens in my front garden,
this summer has not been good for them. Can you suggest anything to go in a damp! front garden which does not get a lot of sunshine at this time of year. I can only think of pansies and i don't have much success with them either I'm hoping we have an indian summer lol

Aqualiega (check spelling!) like shade and damp so do astilbes but not likely to flower this time of year.
Ive got a euphorbia thats sposed to do sommat during winter but no idea what! New to gardening.

if it's a naturally wet area, why not turn it into a bog garden? there are loads of really cool plants you can grow
