Highdrainage

Highdrainage is a term used in horticulture and landscape design to describe plants that have a high water requirement. These plants are often referred to as "water lovers" and are typically used in areas with good soil drainage and consistent moisture. Highdrainage plants are well-suited for gardens, landscapes, and containers where water retention is not a concern.

Common characteristics of highdrainage plants include:

- They have a high transpiration rate, meaning they lose a significant amount of water through their leaves.

- They require consistent moisture, often needing watering every day or every other day, depending on the weather conditions.

- They are often used in combination with lowdrainage plants to create a balanced and diverse garden.

Examples of highdrainage plants include:

- Astilbe

- Begonia

- Coleus

- Impatiens

- Lantana

- Marigold

- Nasturtium

- Petunia

- Salvia

- Zinnia

Highdrainage plants can be an excellent choice for gardeners who want to create a lush, green landscape with a variety of plant types. However, they require regular watering and may not be suitable for all garden conditions. It is essential to consider the specific needs of each plant and the local climate when selecting highdrainage plants for a garden.
