Stormwater Planters are a type of bioretention practice. Please defer to planning considerations in [[Bioretention]]

===Underdrain===
Stormwater planters differ fundamentally from [[bioretention]] in that the storage function is provided only by the [[water retention capacity]] of the [[filter media]]. As such there is no storage reservoir and the only purpose to the aggregate layer is to drain water to the perforated [[pipe]]. For this, a medium aggregate as described in [[choker layer]] is recommended as it negates the need for a separating layer to the filter media.

===Planting===
===Planting===
Stormwater planters routinely capture only rainwater flowing from adjacent rooftops. This means that [[salt]] may be less of a concern than in [[Bioretention: Parking lots]] or [[Bioretention: Streetscapes]].
*Planters must be designed in a way that insulates the soil through freezing temperatures, or plant species that can survive the winter season in raised planters must be used.
The [[plant lists]] are still a good place to start when selecting species for LID in Ontario.

*A more formal aesthetic for the planting design is appropriate for the urban hardscape setting.
