| A list of plants suitable for a rain garden would probably be your best resource, since these plants must be able to tolerate periodic flooding during rainy weather and the dry spells in between. Rain gardens are designed to be low-maintenance, so the selected plants will not require much in the way of watering, fertilization or grooming. The link below has a nice explanation of the concept with a listing of suitable plants at the bottom of the page. This outfit is based in Rhode Island, but I believe these plants would also be suitable for your Zone 6 NJ location. |
