Wondering if there are any perennial bog plants with this effect......

Ours are bare root too, just tucked them between some rocks. They did find their way TO the soil outside the pond though, so they will definitely grow either way.

Oh, yeah. Forget-Me-Not grows anywhere & everywhere, although I've found that its favorite places are either in quickly moving water (bare root tucked into rocks along the sides of our waterfall) or anywhere in the ground outside the pond that a seed lands or a little piece breaks off & drops. It digs up & transplants beautifully, though, so if it does start wandering around where you don't want it, it's not a problem.

I am so glad to hear this because I really like this plant and am hoping to have it spread and survive winter
