Why Choose the Rain Garden Collection?

The Rain Garden Collection combines beauty and functionality, providing a sustainable solution for areas that retain moisture. With vibrant blooms and pollinator appeal, this collection is perfect for transforming wet spots into thriving garden spaces that support local wildlife and naturally filter stormwater.

Planting Tips:

1. Location: Plant in full sun to part shade in areas that retain moisture or experience periodic flooding.
2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, the plants require less watering.
3. Maintenance: Minimal care required. There's no need to deadhead the flowers, as allowing them to go to seed provides a valuable food source for birds. Leaving the stems standing in the fall offers overwintering sites for beneficial insects. If desired, cut back the stems in late spring after pollinators have emerged.
