Description
Plant a beautiful, colorful rain garden in a wide, shallow depression to collect rainwater. The roots of these plants will help the water soak into the soil instead of running off. Rain garden plants tolerate periods when they stand in water, alternating with periods of drought.
Choose a sunny or part shady mix depending on your site.
This garden mix includes plants such as Fox Sedge, Blue Flag Iris, Marsh Blazingstar, Great Blue Lobelia, Purple coneflower, Zig-zag goldenrod and Blue Vervain, depending on the option and subject to availability.
