These are '''not''' the plants recommended for [[bioretention cells]], [[rain gardens]] etc. Bioretention cells, [[bioswales]] and similar normally have moderate to dry soil conditions. <br>
If you're looking for bioretention type plants, you may choose from all of these [[Graminoids:List|grasses]], [[Perennials:List| perennials]], [[Shrubs: List|shrubs]], and [[Trees:List|trees]].
The most common types of emergent vegetation used in North American wetlands are cattails (Typha spp.), bulrushes (Scirpus spp.), and reeds (Phragmites spp.), although a variety of other wetland vegetation can be used as well. In many cases, monocultures are recommended rather than attempting to support biodiverse vegetation since the more “aggressive”, stress-resistant wetland plants (e.g., cattails) will quickly displace others if they are present.
