Phew, that was quite a storm last night here in Toronto!
We have more and more this kind of treacherous rain now, it might be a good idea to garden accordingly.
You can start a 'Rain Garden' or just adding more native plants in your garden.
So here, another 'What's bloom' in my garden' and also a good candidate for a rain garden:
Joe Pye W**d (Eutrochium maculatum)
Joe Pye grows like a shrub, tall and tough, it prefers moist soil but can tolerate some dry soil so it's great for rainy garden.
Both for part shade and full sun, if you don't want it to be too tall, do the Chelsea Chop.
I love the dusky pink flowers, they attract lots of pollinators, too!
You can find the seeds here

Great Blue Lobelia and Swamp Milkweed are also great for rain garden, too!
You can find the both seeds from my shop, also they're available as bulk option.
There are even potted plants of Great Blue Lobelia are available (pickup only).
