Plant List for Rain Garden

In the table below are plants that are in our rain gardens. They were not
all planted in the same year. The plants that have "volunteer" in
parenthesis after their names are native plants that colonized our rain
gardens on their own. Non-native invasive species are weeded out. The plants
are listed in alphabetical order according to their scientific name with the
common name in the right-hand column.
