Plant ideas for wet yard area

Plant ideas for wet yard area

I've got this low area in my yard by the sidewalk that gathers rainwater that flows off mine and my neighbor's roof. I'd like to remove the corner triangle of grass and add some plants here that can help filter the runoff before it gets to the drain. Looking around what they've done at the Beaverdam Reservoir it seems like some clumping native grasses could be good. But I'd also like some layering. Any suggestions for plants that like getting flooded in the rain?

Late spring to early summer blooms?

I've got early spring flowers like golden ragwort and salvia, and later summer flowers like asters and black eyed susans. Bee balm should bloom in a month or so. But I'm looking around my yard and there aren't many blooms right now. Any recommendations to fill the gap and keep the blooms going? Flowers that bloom in early June? Looking mostly for perennials to fill space in the mulch beds, but open to shrubs and ground covers as well.
