Crocus Spring Flowering CROCUS SPRING FLOWERING Final Trials Report 2006 – 2009 Trials Office The Royal Horticultural Society Garden, Wisley, Woking, Surrey, GU23 6QB Crocus Spring Flowering Final Report 2009 - Trial 1202 1 RHS Trial of Crocus, spring flowering Introduction to Crocus, spring flowering Genus of dwarf, cormous perennials with small, goblet shaped flowers made up of 6 tepals. Plants are semi-erect with linear, lance shaped leaves which often have pale silvery central stripes. Crocus are widespread in Central and Southern Europe, North Africa, Middle East, Central Asia and Western China where they are found in a wide range of habitats including woodland, meadows and coastal regions. Objectives The objectives of the trial were: • To assess a range of currently available spring-flowering Crocus species and cultivars • To recommend the Award of Garden Merit to taxa considered excellent for ordinary garden use • To determine correct nomenclature • To produce a permanent record through herbarium specimens, photographs and written descriptions for the RHS Herbarium at Wisley • To demonstrate the performance of this plant group to Wisley Garden visitors over a four year period, in a frame-yard and in the open ground Judging The Rock Garden Plant Trials Assessment Panel will assess entries in the trial for the Award of Garden Merit using the following criteria: • Vigour • Resistance to disease • Impact • Flower • Foliage • Nomenclature Entries There were 155 entries in the trial submitted by various individuals and nurseries throughout the UK and Europe and from The Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew. Crocus Spring Flowering Final Report 2009 - Trial 1202 2 Cultivation Corms were received in late summer/early autumn 2006 and were planted into 13cm lattice pots in the relevant soil type. Two different soil types were used, one for alkaline dry dormancy groups and one for acid/neutral moist/dry dormancy groups. Prior to planting, corms were dusted with a fungicidal powder to minimise disease and rot. Soil Types Alkaline Dry Dormancy Acid/Neutral Moist/Dry Dormancy 2 parts John Innes No. 3 1 part John Innes No. 3 1 part leaf mould 2 parts leaf mould 1 part grit 1 part grit 8g/l Vitax Q4 8g/l Vitax Q4 1.7g/l Dolodust 0.28g/l Intercept 0.28g/l Intercept In 2006 the Crocus were planted in the Alpine Frame Yard where the beds could be covered to prevent damage in severe weather. The beds were covered with fine chicken wire and dressed over with gravel to prevent damage to the corms by mice. Both the chicken wire and the covering to the bed prevented bird damage during this period. In 2008, the entries were lifted from the Alpine Frame Yard in their lattice pots and plunged into a raised bed on the trials field. This bed was filled with a mixture of soil and grit and then dressed with a layer of gravel over the top. Pest and Disease The following pests and diseases were encountered during the trial: • Root rot and lesions – caused by Phytophthora citricola; Phytophthora cinnamomi and Pythium violae • Virus – Arabis Mosaic Virus and Iris Severe Mosaic Virus Other Findings C. biflorus subsp. Tauri flowered particularly well in 2009 due to the very cold winter. This was thought to be an excellent cultivar but is too dependent on cold winter temperatures to gain an AGM. Crocus Spring Flowering Final Report 2009 - Trial 1202 3 Public Vote The public visiting the trials field were invited to vote for their favourite Crocus. Voting slips were available between 23rd February and 3rd March 2009. 21 cultivars were voted for during this time and these were distributed as follows: Public Vote for Crocus C.

  • Culture Notes for Spring Flowering Bulbs 1 ALLIUMS Alliums Are Easy to Grow
    P.O.Box 369, New Norfolk, 7140, Tasmania, Australia Ph: (03) 6261 3153 [email protected] www.vogelvry.com.au Tulipa ‘World Peace’ CULTURE NOTES FOR SPRING FLOWERING BULBS 1 ALLIUMS Alliums are easy to grow. Plant bulbs just below the surface in a sunny position in a well drained soil. Alliums may be dug and stored like onions after leaves die down. ALSTROEMERIA Alstroemeria tubers require a moist, well drained soil and should be planted in a sunny or semi-shaded position with mulch added in warm climates to keep the root system cool. The tubers need to be planted as soon as possible after arrival and should never Allium Ampeloprasum be allowed to dry out. Excellent cut flowers which grow to a height of 100 cm. AMARYLLIS Belladonna Lilies Grow these in a moderately fertile, well- drained soil in full sun. Plant bulbs shallow with the neck just below the surface and water moderately during growing season. These need to be protected from severe frost. Keep bulbs dry while dormant in late summer. These bulbs are excellent for naturalising in the garden and require minimal care once established. ANEMONES These are ideal for mass planting. The small bulbs may be soaked in cold water for 24 hours prior to planting 7-10 cm deep in mainly full sun. Easy to grow as a colourful ‘filler’ in any garden. BRODIAE Queen Fabiola Plant 7 cm deep in full sun or partial shade. Easy to grow. CHIONODOXA Glory in the Snow Plant 10 cm deep and 15 cm apart either in full sun or semi-shaded position.

  • William Herbert (1778--1847) Scientist and Polymath, and His Contributions to Curtis's Botanical Magazine
    WILLIAM HERBERT (1778–1847) SCIENTIST AND POLYMATH, AND HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO CURTIS’S BOTANICAL MAGAZINE Alison Rix ‘Hon. and Rev. W. Herbert, afterwards Dean of Manchester, in the fourth volume of the ‘Horticultural Transactions’, 1822, and in his work on the ‘Amaryllidaceae’ (1837, pp. 19, 339), declares that ‘horticultural experiments have established, beyond the possibility of refutation, that botanical species are only a higher and more permanent class of varieties’. He extends the same view to animals. The Dean believes that single species of each genus were created in an originally highly plastic condition, and that these have produced, chiefly by intercrossing, but likewise by variation, all our existing species’. [Preface to the third edition (1860) of On the Origin of Species,by Charles Darwin] The Hon. and Rev. William Herbert, often known as Dean Herbert, to whom Vol. 65 (1839) of Curtis’s Botanical Magazine was dedicated, was an exceptional polymath – a poet and classical scholar, linguist, reforming MP, clergyman – as well as amateur botanist and botanical artist. His best-known botanical work, illustrated with 48 of his own paintings, was the two volume work Amaryllidaceae, quoted above by Darwin. Although this extraordinary man counted botany as just one of his many interests, his output was prodigious; in addition to studying and breeding plants, such as Crocus, Gladiolus, Hippeastrum, Narcissus and Rhododendron, he also wrote and drew prolifically for journals such as Curtis’s Botanical Magazine and its rival publication, Edwards’s Botanical Register. In addition to Darwin, he corresponded with many other notable people, including Sir William Hooker and William Fox Talbot, and his letters paint a picture of a rather serious and industrious character.

Since 1982 when the last review of the genus was published by Brian Mathew many new taxa were found and work dealing with special parameters of Crocus, like the Calcium-oxalate crystals in the corm tunics, were published. Introducing molecular-systematic analyses to the genus brought a completely new understanding of Crocus that presents itself now far away from being small and easy-structured. This work was initiated by the idea that a detailed study accompanied by drawings and photographs is necessary to widen and sharpen the view for the important details of the genus. Therefore we look at the life-cycle of the plants as well as at important morphological and phenotypical characteristics of Crocus. Especially important to us is the explained determination of relevant taxonomical parameters which are necessary for a mistake-free identification of the rapidly increasing numbers of discovered species and for the creation of determination keys. Zusammenfassung: Die Gattung Crocus wird seit mehr als 30 Jahren von den Autoren sowohl in der Natur als auch in Kultur studiert.

Again, we are coming to you with a new catalogue and again we are including many new varieties in it, probably not so many as we would like, but our stocks do not increase as fast as the demand for our bulbs. We hope for many more novelties in the next catalogue. Last season we had one more successful expedition – we found and collected 3 juno irises never before cultivated (we hope that they will be a good addition to our Iris collection) and many other nice plants, too. In garden we experienced a very difficult season. The spring came very early – in the first decade of April the temperature unexpectedly rose up to +270 C, everything came up, flowered and finished flowering in few days and then during one day the temperature fell as low as –80 C. A lot of foliage was killed by a returned frost. As a result the crop of bulbs was very poor. The weather till the end of June was very dry – no rain at all, only hot days followed by cold nights. But then it started to rain. There were days with the relative air humidity up to 98%. The drying of harvested bulbs was very difficult. I was forced to clean one of my living rooms in my house, to heat it and to place there the boxes with Allium and Tulipa bulbs to save them from Penicillium.

New Year and new gardening season comes and my new catalogue goes to you. It is a little shorter than usually - not for shortage of items includable (with pain in heart I striped out many names) but this summer I want to rebuild my bulb shed and it will limit my possibilities to harvest bulbs and to work with them. Last summer was very busy year. I rebuilt one of my greenhouses - it was very nervous process due shortage of workers (three teams were changed), I was forced to dig out all bulbs, to change soil - but now working in it is much more comfortable. I and my wife Guna organized for the first time “Open door days” and we had 18 visitors from Britain, arranged programm including lectures, visits of gardens, museum, nature, Opera etc. All visitors were very satisfied with visit. Sorry, this season we can’t to arrange OPEN DOOR DAYS due my lecture tour in North America and expedition plans. But I’m planning repeat such days in future, too. Last season Mrs. Kristl Walek from Canada (Gardens North – Seeds from the world) in her catalogue revealed the fact that I had been bearing in my mind an idea about a book on bulbs and my experience with them.
