PLANTS OF THE SEATTLE JAPANESE GARDEN 2020 Acknowledgments The SJG Plant Committee would like to thank our Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) gardeners and the Niwashi volunteers for their dedication to this garden. Senior gardener Peter Putnicki displays exceptional leadership and vision, and is fully engaged in garden maintenance as well as in shaping the garden’s evolution. Gardeners Miriam Preus, Andrea Gillespie and Peter worked throughout the winter and spring to ensure that the garden would be ready when the Covid19 restrictions permitted it to re-open. Like all gardens, the Seattle Japanese Garden is a challenging work in progress, as plants continue to grow and age and need extensive maintenance, or removal & replacement. This past winter, Pete introduced several new plants to the garden – Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Wedding Gown’, Osmanthus fragrans, and Cercidiphyllum japonicum ‘Morioka Weeping’. The Plant Committee is grateful to our gardeners for continuing to provide us with critical information about changes to the plant collection. The Plant Committee (Hiroko Aikawa, Maggie Carr, Sue Clark, Kathy Lantz, chair, Corinne Kennedy, Aleksandra Monk and Shizue Prochaska) revised and updated the Plant Booklet. This year we welcome four new members to the committee – Eleanore Baxendale, Joanie Clarke, Patti Brawer and Pamela Miller. Aleksandra Monk continues to be the chief photographer of the plants in the garden and posts information about plants in bloom and seasons of interest to the SJG Community Blog and related SJG Bloom Blog. Corinne Kennedy is a frequent contributor to the SJG website and published 2 articles in the summer Washington Park Arboretum Bulletin highlighting the Japanese Garden – Designed in the Stroll-Garden Style and Hidden Treasure of the Japanese Garden. THE JAPANESE GARDEN Seattle, Washington Welcome to the Seattle Japanese Garden in the Washington Park Arboretum. Thank you for supporting the garden through your visit and purchase of this Plant List Booklet. It lists the garden’s plants as of August 2020, and was created to increase your knowledge and enjoyment of your visit. The plant collection changes during the year, so this booklet is updated annually to reflect those changes. How to use this Plant Booklet: The garden is divided into 28 areas that are assigned letters of the alphabet. These areas are shown on the Garden Map on the back cover. The booklet contains three lists: 1. Detailed Plant List by Area - lists the plants within each area of the garden. In Areas A – Z, plants are listed alphabetically by Genus (specifically, by their full scientific/botanical name). In Areas ZZE & ZZW, they’re listed by their location as you walk through the area. Refer to the Garden Map and this list when you see a plant that you’d like to identify. This list contains description and location information that will help you determine the correct plant, identified by its scientific name. Many of the plants have been photographed and are included in the SJG Bloom Blog. To learn more, go to the Bloom Blog website -- http://sjgbloom2012.wordpress.com. 2. Summary List with Location Information – a list of plants by scientific name that lists all garden areas where each plant is located. Refer to this when you know a plant’s Genus and want to find it in the garden. 3. Summary List with Japanese Words – a list of plants by scientific name that provides information on Japanese naming – specifically, Japanese Syllable, Japanese Name and English Transliteration. Seattle Parks and Recreation manages and maintains the Seattle Japanese Garden and its plant collection, in partnership with the Arboretum Foundation and the Prentice Bloedel Arboretum Unit 86.

  • Japanese Maples – Acer Spp

    Japanese Maples – Acer Spp

    Japanese Maples – Acer spp. Known for their astounding variety in color, texture and habit, Japanese Maples are easygoing and adaptable and belong in every garden. If you already have one, think about adding another! for every site, a japanese maple! • Botanists count twenty-three species to include under the common heading of Japanese Maple. The largest group is Acer palmatum and its cultivars, followed by Acer japonicum. The numerous cultivars of Acer palmatum are further divided into seven groups which are mostly defined by leaf-shape. • In addition to variation in leaf-shape, Japanese Maples come in an array of sizes, growth habits, color ranges, and full sun to part shade preference. They add structure, contrast, texture, and beauty to any garden. • Carefully evaluate your chosen planting spot: Japanese maples require a slightly acid, sandy loam, with medium moisture and good drainage. Regular leafed varieties take full sun better than laceleaf types, but all Japanese Maples will be happy with at least some afternoon shade, since St. Louis summer sun is hot, strong and humid. • Remember that plants grow outwards as well as upwards and site appropriately. Take into account proximity to any buildings and any overhead limits. Some pruning is possible but should not be a necessary task. • The main requirement of a Japanese Maple is a uniform supply of water. They are not happy with very wet periods followed by long, dry periods or vice versa. Most will need supplemental water in the St. Louis summers. Japanese Maples in planters have this same need for consistency – be careful that they do not become waterlogged! prepare your site, plant your tree • Japanese Maples are easy to plant.

  • Solomon's Seal Cultivation

    Solomon's Seal Cultivation

    SOLOMON’S SEAL: CULTIVATION & FOLKLORE Edited by C. F. McDowell, PhD Cortesia Herbal Products • www.solomonsseal.net Solomon's Seal (polygonatum biflorum, multiflorum, odoratum, etc.) is a medicinal herb that has diverse health restorative properties. It can be used as a herbal tincture, salve, tea or supplement. As an alternative remedy, it may offer relief, healing or mending to sports injuries and other conditions related to tendons, joints, ligaments, bones, bruises, connecting tissues, cartilage, etc. It also soothes and repairs gastrointestinal inflammation and injuries. It is effective for feminine issues, such as menstrual cramps, PMS, bleeding, and the like. Additionally, it is known to lower blood pressure and relieve dry coughs. Solomon's Seal has a rich history that goes back many thousands of years. Herbalists and healers, both in Europe and North America and the Far East, have written about its diverse effects on numerous conditions. In 2010, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (Natural Resources Conservation Service) identified Solomon's Seal as a Culturally Significant Plant, noting its medicinal and restorative value among North American Tribal (Original Nation) peoples. It is our understanding that the National Institutes of Health is presently researching the benefits of Solomon's Seal for heart health. Western documentation is largely anecdotal. Gardener's and nature lovers know the plant well, for it is easily identifiable and can be cultivated. Wellness practitioners using alternative healing methods are somewhat familiar with the plant and praise it; however, their number is still small and documentation is limited. Herbalists, chiropractors, among others are increasingly validating Solomon's Seal's effectiveness.

    1. EUONYMUS Linnaeus, Sp. Pl. 1: 197

    Fl. China 11: 440–463. 2008. 1. EUONYMUS Linnaeus, Sp. Pl. 1: 197. 1753 [“Evonymus”], nom. cons. 卫矛属 wei mao shu Ma Jinshuang (马金双); A. Michele Funston Shrubs, sometimes small trees, ascending or clambering, evergreen or deciduous, glabrous, rarely pubescent. Leaves opposite, rarely also alternate or whorled, entire, serrulate, or crenate, stipulate. Inflorescences axillary, occasionally terminal, cymose. Flowers bisexual, 4(or 5)-merous; petals light yellow to dark purple. Disk fleshy, annular, 4- or 5-lobed, intrastaminal or stamens on disk; anthers longitudinally or obliquely dehiscent, introrse. Ovary 4- or 5-locular; ovules erect to pendulous, 2(–12) per locule. Capsule globose, rugose, prickly, laterally winged or deeply lobed, occasionally only 1–3 lobes developing, loculicidally dehiscent. Seeds 1 to several, typically 2 developing, ellipsoid; aril basal to enveloping seed. Two subgenera and ca. 130 species: Asia, Australasia, Europe, Madagascar, North America; 90 species (50 endemic, one introduced) in China. Euonymus omeiensis W. P. Fang (J. Sichuan Univ., Nat. Sci. Ed. 1: 38. 1955) was described from Sichuan (Emei Shan, Shishungou, ca. 1300 m). This putative species was misdiagnosed; it is a synonym of Reevesia pubescens Masters in the Sterculiaceae (see Fl. China 12: 317. 2007). The protologue describes the fruit as having bracts. The placement of Euonymus tibeticus W. W. Smith (Rec. Bot. Surv. India 4: 264. 1911), described from Xizang (3000–3100 m) and also occurring in Bhutan (Lhakhang) and India (Sikkim), is unclear, as only a specimen with flower buds is available. Euonymus cinereus M. A. Lawson (in J. D. Hooker, Fl. Brit. India 1: 611. 1875) was described from India.

AREA ­ Non-native trees are some of the most beloved plants in the landscape due to their beauty. In addition, these trees are grown for the shade, screening, structure, and landscape benefits they provide. Deciduous trees, whose leaves die and fall off in the autumn, are valuable additions to landscapes because of their changing interest throughout the year. Evergreen trees are valued for their year-round beauty and shelter for wildlife. Evergreens are often grouped into two categories, broadleaf evergreens and conifers. Broadleaf evergreens have broad, flat leaves. They also may have showy flowers, such as Camellia oleifera (a large shrub), or colorful fruits, such as Nellie R. Stevens holly. Coniferous evergreens either have needle-like foliage, such as the lacebark pine, or scale-like foliage, such as the green giant arborvitae. Conifers do not have true flowers or fruits but bear cones. Though most conifers are evergreen, exceptions exist. Dawn redwood, for example, loses its needles each fall. The following are useful definitions: Cultivar (cv.) - a cultivated variety designated by single quotes, such as ‘Autumn Gold’. A variety (var.) or subspecies (subsp.), in contrast, is found in nature and is a subdivision of a species (a variety of Cedar of Lebanon is listed). Full Shade - the amount of light under a dense deciduous tree canopy or beneath evergreens. Full Sun - at least 6 hours of sun daily.
