rain Garden plant layouts The following will assist with rain garden plant selection and layout: A site diagram is provided below for a rectangular-shaped rain garden that shows a sample plant layout with number of plants per species based on a recommended plant spacing of 1 plant per 1-1.5 square feet. Additional rain garden layouts are provided with recommended plant species for sun and shade conditions. In several layouts a primary species is provided in bold with additional substitutions. Example Plant Layout: • A 5 foot x 10 foot (50 ft 2 ) rain garden will be constructed. • Native plants for sunny conditions will be planted in the garden. • The desired plant spacing is 1 plant for every1-1.5 ft 2 . • In this example, a maximum of 50 plants could be used for a 50 ft 2 garden using a spacing of 1 plant per 1 ft 2 . However, it was decided that most plants would be planted at that spacing but some would be planted at 1 plant per 1.5 ft 2 resulting in a total of 46 plants for this garden. • If a larger garden is desired such as a 100 ft 2 , then a maximum of 100 plants are recommended to be planted at 1 plant per 1 ft 2 . If a smaller garden such as 25 ft 2 were desired then a maximum of 25 plants per ft 2 are recommended to be planted. 4 Foxglove Beardstongue 8 Little Bluestem 8 Little Bluestem 4 Foxglove Beardstongue 2 Sneezeweed 2 Smooth Blue Aster 2 Sneezeweed 2 Sneezeweed 2 Smooth Blue Aster 2 Canada Anemone 2 Wild Geranium 5 ft 10 ft 4 Switch Grass 4 Switch Grass
