If it's mostly shady and big enough of an area how about a hydrangea?

If it's sun - try zebra grass or cannas - mine love the water. My daylilies also do well in my swampy wet areas.
I have hostas that do great in the wet shady parts of my yard as well. We have horrible drainage - so lots of my yard stays wet.
Good luck!
