Native Plants for Rain Gardens
/Native plants work great in rain gardens – they are adapted to our wet winters, and drought-tolerant in the summer once they are established. There are endless possibilities in choosing plants for your rain garden, but here are a few of our great native plants that would do well and be a compliment to your landscape. Some of the shrubs do get quite large, so keep this in mind and make sure you have adequate space.
