Now that the weather is finally cooperating, gardeners are planting lots of impatiens in shade gardens around Ohio! This easy-to-grow shade-lover does best in well-drained soils and in shade ranging from light to heavy. The more sun these plants get, the more water required to keep them healthy. Most of the newer cultivars don't require pinching to make them bushy or deadheading (removing the dead blossoms). Plants grow anywhere from 6" (pixie varieties) to 12-15" tall. Flower colors are red, pink, orange, salmon, white, purple, and bi-color. The newer double cultivars are loaded with blooms compared to varieties from the past! Impatiens are relatively pest-free; however, it is a good idea to rotate them out of a flower bed every few years to avoid the potential for Verticillium wilt. For more information, see: Missouri Botanical Garden Kemper Center for Home Gardening information on Impatiens walleriana Clemson Cooperative Extension Home and Garden Information Center on Impatiens *PERENNIAL - BAPTISIA, FALSE INDIGO (Baptisia spp.). This durable, long-lived North American native perennial likes to be planted and left alone! Therefore, select a sunny site that has normal Midwest soil and give this plant a permanent home. Plants grow to around 2 1/2-3/1/2' tall and around 3-4' wide in a rounded mound, depending upon the variety or cultivar. It is relatively pest-free and has great heat and drought tolerance. Blue false indigo also has great foliage that appears bluish-green. The lupine-like flowers appear on spikes in late May and early June. The seed pods that develop are also quite attractive and last into the fall. The seed pods can be used in dried arrangements. If the plants are grown in light-shade or fertile soil, they tend to get tall and floppy. Many breeding programs around the country have introduced new cultivars with great features, including 'Purple Smoke'. This was discovered at the North Carolina Botanical Garden, Chapel Hill by curator Rob Gardner. It is a hybrid of B. australis and B. alba and is loaded with smoky violet flowers on charcoal gray flower stems; it has smaller leaflets than B. australis and gets around 2-3' tall. For more information, see: University of Kentucky Plant information on Baptisia australis Missouri Botanical Garden Kemper Center for Home Gardening information on Baptisia australis var. minor *WOODY - BLACK LOCUST (Robinia pseudoacacia). Michael A. Dirr writes in the "Manual of Woody Landscape Plants" that, "Europeans have grown, appreciated and selected superior forms of this tree while Americans treated it as some pedestrian weed." While many may think this way, there are some great qualities to this plant. This tree is a common sight in many natural growing areas and is a suitable candidate for even the toughest of growing conditions. While it may not be suitable for the home landscape or as a specimen tree it could be considered a tree for highway or reclaimed stripped- mined areas. It is currently blooming in the northern part of Ohio and has a white, fragrant, pendulous flower. Individual flowers have the typical look of a legume or bean family member to which it belongs, and creates a great spectacle mid to late May into June. This tree averages 30-50' in height and 20- 30' in width. It does have a few problems including locust borer, leaf spots and powdery mildews. For more information, see: Ohio Department of Natural Resources - Ohio Trees Guide *VEGETABLE - EGGPLANT (Solanum melongena). The eggplant is a native of India and a relative of tomato, potato and pepper. It can be started early indoors, but most gardeners set out transplants from the garden center. Space plants 18" apart with 2-3' between rows. To properly rotate crops, do not plant in the same space occupied by tomato, potato or pepper the previous two years. Eggplants love heat. With proper irrigation they will continue to develop and produce fruit throughout the summer. Use a complete fertilizer at planting and make a second application after the first harvest. The most common problem with eggplant are flea beetles which eat tiny holes in the leaves. Too small to hand pick, the beetles are easily controlled with insecticides labeled for use in the vegetable garden. Use pruning shears to harvest the fruit. The stems are tough; twisting and pulling to harvest will only damage the plant. Plan on harvesting when the fruit is still small, about 6-8", and the skin is shiny. Over mature fruit with dull skin and a spongy interior should be discarded. 'Black Beauty' is a standard color and shape. 'Ichiban' is long and thin, and 'Casper' a white-fruited variety. For more information, see: OSUE FactSheet on Growing Eggplant in the Home Garden *WEED - WILD PARSNIP (Pastinaca sativa). As a member of the carrot family, wild parsnip is a biennial. It spends the first year growing vegetatively then blooms the following year. Individual flowers are borne on a compound umbel atop of the 2-5' tall plant. Leaves are large, up to 18" long, and oddly pinnate. The actual flowers are about 1/8" across and have tiny yellow petals. The blooming period may last 2 months from late spring until mid-summer. Flattened, winged seeds are spread by wind to produce the next generation of wild parsnip. Wild parsnip is one of the weeds commonly mistaken for GIANT HOGWEED (Heracleum mantegazzianum). However, giant hogweed is much larger, up to 15' tall, and has white flowers and a very thick reddish purple, spotted stem. For more information, see: Wildflowers of Illinois - Wild Parsnip 2. HORT SHORTS. A. GROWING DEGREE DAYS (GDD). GDD is a measure of the daily maximum and minimum temperature and directly relates to growth and development of plants and insects. The GDD of any zip code location in Ohio is estimated using the GDD of ten OARDC weather stations and available on the web at: http://www.oardc.ohio-state.edu/gdd/ . The range of GDD accumulations in Ohio from north to south is 421 to 841. Following is a report of GDD for several locations around Ohio as of June 1, 2011: Painesville, 421; Cleveland, 462; Toledo, 537; Canfield, 525; Findlay, 558; Van Wert, 575; Wooster, 613; Coshocton, 704; Columbus, 823; Springfield, 763; Dayton, 766; Cincinnati, 803; Ironton, 810; Portsmouth, 813; and Piketon, 841. To put these GDD accumulations into perspective, the following is an abbreviated listing of plant and insect species with their respective phenological event and average GDD accumulations at which these events occur. Due to variations in weather, temperature, humidity, etc., these events may occur a few days earlier or later than predicted by the average GDD. By looking at a city, town, or village nearby on the above list, or visiting the above website, one can see what is taking place in the landscape.

  • Common Yellow Woodsorrel
    A Horticulture Information article from the Wisconsin Master Gardener website, posted 23 May 2008 Common Yellow Woodsorrel Common yellow woodsorrel, Oxalis stricta, is a native North American plant (also found in Eurasia) which is usually considered a weed. It has numerous common names, including common yellow oxalis, sour grass, shamrock, sleeping beauty, sour trefoil, and sheep’s clover. It also has many synonyms: Ceratoxalis coloradensis, O. dillenii, O. europaea, O. prostrate, O. rupestris, and Xanthoxalis fl orida. It is found in 46 states, but is most numerous in the eastern U. S. and into Canada. This species differs from other wood sorrels by being more erect, the stems grow at a sharp angle (about 90º) from the main stem and Common yellow woodsorrel. the seed pods bend sharply upward on their stalks. Common yellow woodsorrel is distinct from other wood sorrels in that the seed pods bend sharply upward on their stalks, and the stalks also grow at a sharp angle from the main stalk (both angles are about 90 degrees). It also tends to grow in a more upright fashion than other An infestation of common yellow woodsorrel. wood sorrels (stricta means “upright”). This herbaceous plant may grow either as an annual or as a weak perennial. Although it prefers moist soil, and partial shade, it is tolerant of a wide range of conditions. It is commonly found in fi elds, woods and borders, along roadsides and in other waste areas, and will even grow in the cracks of sidewalks. It is also a common summer annual in lawns.

  • Oxalis Violacea L. Violet Wood-Sorrel
    New England Plant Conservation Program Oxalis violacea L. Violet Wood-Sorrel Conservation and Research Plan for New England Prepared by: Thomas Mione Professor Central Connecticut State University For: New England Wild Flower Society 180 Hemenway Road Framingham, MA 01701 508/877-7630 e-mail: [email protected] • website: www.newfs.org Approved, Regional Advisory Council, December 2002 1 SUMMARY Violet Wood-Sorrel (Oxalis violacea L., Oxalidaceae) is a low-growing herbaceous, self-incompatible perennial that produces violet flowers in May, June and again in September. Reproduction is both sexual (with pollination mostly by bees), and asexual (by way of runners). The species is widely distributed in the United States but is rare in New England. Oxalis violacea is an obligate outcrosser: the species is distylous, meaning that there are two flower morphs (pin and thrum), with a given plant producing one morph, not both. Pin flowers are more common than thrum flowers. In New England, the habitat varies from dry to moist, and for populations to remain vigorous forest canopies must remain partially open. Succession, the growth of plants leading to shading, is a factor contributing to decline of O. violacea in New England, as are invasive species and habitat fragmentation. Fire benefits this species, in part by removing competitors. Human consumption of the leaves has been reported. Oxalis violacea has a Global Status Rank of G5, indicating that it is demonstrably widespread, abundant and secure. In Massachusetts, it is ranked as Threatened; five occurrences are current (in four towns among three counties) and 10 are historic. In Connecticut, it is listed as a species of Special Concern; 10 occurrences are current (in ten towns among six counties) and 19 are historic.

Lectotype (designated here): Mozambique, Moramballa, 0-3000 ft., Zambesi Expedition, H. Waller s.n. (K!-000419538). Notes: The name was published as ‘Walleriana’, which according to the ICBN (McNeill et al., 2006) is not a correctable error. The species is sometimes erroneously cited as ‘I. wallerana’. The other syntype, J. Kirk s.n. (K!), is also the holotype of Impatiens sultanii Hooker (1882: t. 6643), a synonym. The well-known bedding plant ‘busy lizzie’, Impatiens walleriana (Balsaminaceae), is a species occurring naturally in East Africa, where it can be found locally abundant in Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique. It is frequently associated with wet or humid habitats and can thus be found near streams, waterfalls and in gorges or in the understorey of wet forests. Elsewhere in the tropics and subtropics the species can commonly be found naturalised along roads, in secondary forests and other disturbed habitats, where it can form dominant stands, competing out other species (Richardson et al. 2000, Tabak & Wettenberg 2008). Impatiens walleriana was first discovered during one of Dr David Livingstone’s expeditions up the Zambezi River, where he travelled with Dr John Kirk and Ref.
