Native Plants for New England Rain Gardens Native Plants for New England Rain Gardens This plant list includes native plant species and cultivars that are adaptable, available, and have been widely successful in our northern New England region. It is a place to begin, but it is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all plants that may be used in rain gardens. Plant enthusiasts may want to consult other resources and try new plants on their own, but those who want a “Tried and True” list of plants to choose from may find all that they need right here. We use natives because rain gardens may border natural areas and we want to avoid introducing new non-native plants into the environment.

  • Silky Dogwood
    Silky dogwood (Cornus amomum) Silky dogwood The Silky dogwood shrub is a species native to eastern North America ranging from Ontario and Quebec south to Arkansas and Georgia. This deciduous shrub's size spans from more than 12 feet to 6 feet tall. The Silky dogwood can tolerate full sun, partial sun/shade, or full shade. The shrub can survive in several different soil types ranging from well-drained acidic soil to alkaline wet soil. For ornamental interest, the dogwood blossoms in spring with showy fruit and flowers, and has vibrant fall colors. Ninebark (Physocarpus opulifolius) Ninebark The Common Ninebark is a deciduous shrub with beautiful foliage, peeling bark, and white cup-shaped flowers. It is native to the eastern United States ranging from the midwest to the east coast. Ninebark grows 5 to 10 feet tall and 6 to 10 feet wide. The shrub can tolerate full sun and partial sun/shade. The summer cup- shaped flower heads attract birds, bees, and butterflies. The shrub is drought tolerant and requires little maintenance. Buttonbush (CEphalanthus occiDEntalis) Buttonbush Buttonbush is a great shrub for naturalizing in wet areas. The round fragrant flower clusters during the summer months attract butterflies, and over 24 species of birds. It is native to the eastern United States. Buttonbush grows to be between 5 and 10 feet tall, and can tolerate full sun and partial sun/shade. For ornamental interest, the shrub produces beautiful white summer blossoms and persistent fruit/seeds. Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) Elderberry The Elderberry shrub has many common names such as black elderberry, common elder, and black elder.

  • Selecting Trees and Shrubs in Windbreaks
    Fall 2012 Selecting Trees and Shrubs in Windbreaks Windbreaks are plantings of single or multiple rows of trees or shrubs that are established for one or more environmental purposes. Purposes of windbreaks include: wind protection, controlling blowing and drifting snow, wildlife habitat establishment, energy saving, living screens, odor abatement and more. The effectiveness of a windbreak depends on suitable tree and shrub selection as well as planting density and spacing. This fact sheet offers information on tree and shrub species to consider in Minnesota windbreak plantings and a list of resources for technical and financial assistance. Tree and Shrub Selection: Windbreak tree and shrub selection is extremely important to insure an effective, long lasting planting. Plants need to be winter hardy and should have a positive history of plantings in the area suitable for the site and soils. Select multiple species of trees and shrubs, so if there is a failure in a row the windbreak is still effective for the purposes. A mix of deciduous and coniferous plants is recommended and should be based on the purpose of the planting. Many plants can offer potential income benefits such as edible, decorative, crafts, medicinal and specialty woods. As appropriate, first consider using native plants. Landowners should consult with area or County Soil and Water Conservation Districts/National Resources Conservation Service, Department of Natural Resource and Extension staff to get a recommended list of plants suitable for the area.

  • Registration Lists of Cultivar Names in Cornus L
    ARNOLDIA , A continuation of the BULLETIN OF POPULAR INFORMATION of the Arnold Arboretum, Harvard University VOLUME 211 JANUARY 27, 1961 NUMBER 2 REGISTRATION LISTS OF CULTIVAR NAMES IN CORNUS L. principles used in compiling the list of names applied to cultivars in a THEgenus have been discussed in a previous article (Arnoldia, XXI, No. I), in which some of the problems encountered were also indicated. Two lists are given - in this treatment of cultivar names in Cornus. The first is an alphabetical listing of the older names applied to cultivated plants as well as the more recent easily recognizable cultivar names. Each name is followed by the parenthetical refer- ence to the species involved. The asterisk indicates that the cultivar is currently grown in the United States and is available under that name from commercial sources or from botanical gardens or arboreta. According to the rules of nomencla- ture for cultivated plants, these cultivar names cannot be used again in the genus. The second list gives the species and their associated cultivars in alphabetical sequence, with the earliest bibliographic reference for the cultivar. Most of these taxa have been described as botanical varieties or forms. No attempt has been made to indicate whether or where these botanical taxa have received new status as cultivars, since the rules make no provision for author citation of such changes. However, many of the references cited are for earlier basionyms than those given m Rehder’s "Bibliography of Cultivated Plants. " Many of the epithets are desig- nated as illegitimate," being nomina rruda, or being used incorrectly as cultivars when the names are based on native plants.
