What plants could survive wet to dry position

At the bottom of the garden we get a flooded area after heavy rain. As we have had such nice weather lately it has dried out and is very hard clay. There are also quite a lot of tree roots too.  The only things that have survived so far are snakes head fritillaries and primulas.  Any suggestions welcomeimage

    These things survive that habitat here; comphreys, the big native, a short white and the blue one. purple loosestrife, the coloured stemmed dogwoods, Iris pseudocorus (that grows anywhere), meadowsweet, phytolacca, Carex pendula,

    Thanks nut.  Didn't realise there was so much choice. A dogwood would be ideal. I will look the others up and make a planimage
