You need some dews. Filiformis, capillaris, and intermedia will all go with what you have there. You can also try capes or some binata understanding that they will likely die back to the roots in the winter and then come back. If you get some seeds from the bank and sprinkle them in the bog now, they will likely sprout in the spring.
