Assessing Bioretention Cell Function in a Midwest Continental Climate This study examined the performance of bioretention cells with five plant species: fragrant sumac (Rhus aromatica), yellow twig dogwood (Cornus stolonifera), buffalo grass (Buchloe dactyloides), switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), and daylily (Hemerocallis), and an unplanted control. Preliminary results indicate that switchgrass and daylilies perform best. Switchgrass enhanced infiltration and reduced discharge volume by 70% (Culbertson et al., 2004).
