Rain garden plants are species that are particularly well-suited to rain gardens, which are designed to capture and absorb rainwater runoff. These plants are capable of thriving in both wet and dry conditions, making them ideal for areas that experience fluctuating moisture levels. Examples include Joe-Pye weed, switchgrass, and cardinal flower. Rain garden plants are used to reduce runoff, filter pollutants, and improve water quality while adding beauty and biodiversity to the landscape. When designing a rain garden, it’s important to select a mix of plants that can handle temporary flooding as well as drier periods. Rain garden plants contribute to sustainable landscaping practices by helping to manage stormwater naturally and providing habitat for wildlife. Proper planning and installation are essential to ensure that these plants establish well and perform their ecological functions effectively.
