Sunny Moist Gardens support our most showy native plants to create stunning displays of color and structure. Tall plants are the norm, including Joe Pye, Ironweed, Culver’s Root, Red Twig Dogwood, Sweetbay Magnolia, Elderberry, Serviceberry, Swamp Rose and Atlantic White Cedar.
Sunny Moist Gardens are typically grown on the edges of a property, usually in the lowest spots where rainwater pools after a storm. Their tall stature works well as a border between properties or to hide utilities.
The Sunny Moist garden is also a haven for butterflies and other pollinators in the summer, while providing ample food supply for birds and small mammals in the fall. These plants are vigorous competitors and will spread over time to fill in those areas that are moist enough to support them – and then will go no further. The color palette includes beautiful combinations of pink, blue, yellow, and white blooms, followed by copious red and blue berries.
