United Rain Garden Mixture
Rain Garden mixtures are the wave of the future, with more emphasis being put on water conservation every day. This mixture addresses water conservation in the diversity it possesses. With excellent deep rooting abilities and lower maintenance requirements of all the species this mix will help to filter collected rain water for ground water replenishment. Use this mix in larger areas or smaller, more confined areas. This mixture is also very aesthetically pleasing with excellent color variation from the wildflowers as well as the beautiful mature texture and colors of the native grasses and “grass-like” species. Use this mixture in areas of excessive water run-off or retention basins sites for natural water infiltration.
