In Illinois, E. yuccifolium blooms from mid July to early September. The solitary stem of E. yuccifolium has a height of 2-6 (3-5) feet. Each flower has five white petals and five greenish sepals. Flowers have two protruded stigmas and five anthers. On average the central flower head has 106 flowers (B. Molano-Flores unpublished data). In some plants the stigmas and bracts will have a pinkish-reddish color (personal observation). The flower head has a "honey-like" fragrance (Runkel and Rosa, 1989) and no nectar is visible. The species has a conservative coefficient of nine (Swink and Wilhem, 1994). 2.2 Diagnostic characteristics The inflorescence (green spiny head) and leaves with a yucca appearance (parallel venation and spiny edges). 3.0 Legal Status 3.1 National status: Not listed at the federal level.

  • Eryngium Yuccifolium A. Michaux Rattlesnake Master (Eryngium Synchaetum)
    A. Michaux Eryngium yuccifolium Rattlesnake Master (Eryngium synchaetum) Other Common Names: Button Eryngo, Button Snakeroot. Family: Apiaceae (Umbelliferae). Cold Hardiness: With proper provenances, this species grows in USDA hardiness zones 4 to 9. Foliage: Alternate, simple, yucca-like sword-shapted blue-green foliage clasps stout stems; basal leaves to 30 long, but leaves on flower stalks much shorter; strap-like ½ to 1½ wide, margins toothed on terminal portions becoming spiny at the base; the specific epithet refers to the yucca-like foliage. Flower: Tiny individual fragrant flowers in ¾diameter ball-like clusters in open flattened clusters atop tall flower stalks in late spring to summer; clusters subtended by holly or thistle-leaf like bracts; individual flowers are numerous and tightly packed; greenish white to white flowers have five-petals and two filiform styles. Fruit: Seed heads eventually turn brown and are retained on the plant into winter until stems die back. Stem / Bark: Stems — stout, stiffly erect, somewhat swollen at the nodes; glabrous, green to bluish green; Buds — small; green to blue-green; Bark — not applicable; basal leaves and floral stalks from semi-woody base. Habit: Erect, 3 to 4 (6) tall, sparsely branched herbaceous perennials from a woody base, with the vegetative tissues sort of reminiscent of a cross between an Iris and a Yucca; over time a cluster of foliage forms at the base; the plant's texture is attractively coarse. Cultural Requirements: Sunny sites with moist well drained soils are required; drainage is particularly important as plants are grown in mesic locations, less so in more arid regions; overly fertile soils result in lodging and plants benefit from being surrounded by shorter plants that can lend support to the tall flower stalks; transplant from containers or seed in place as taproots hinder successful transplant; prickly leaves may hinder maintenance activities around the plants.

  • Best Plants for Problem Clay Soils: Perennials
    Visit us on the Web: www.gardeninghelp.org Best Plants for Problem Clay Soils: Perennials Perennials Amsonia tabernaemontana — Bluestar This Missouri native features uptight clusters of light blue star-like flowers in late spring. Its narrow willow-like leaves turn yellow to peach-colored in fall. Bluestar may require staking if grown in shade and may be pruned after flowering to maintain a compact shape. It is most attractive when grown massed, in native plant gardens, shade gardens, open woodland areas, and borders. Asclepias incarnata — Swamp milkweed Despite its common name and native habitat, swamp milkweed may be grown in the average garden. Its fragrant white, pink or mauve flowers attract butterflies and mature into slender pods with silky-haired seeds. Swamp milkweed is a good choice for sunny, low or moist areas such as stream or pond banks, borders, and butterfly gardens. Baptisia australis — Blue false indigo Blue false indigo has beautiful purplish blue lupine-like flowers borne in erect spikes above the trifoliate leaves. The flowers mature into black seed pods that rattle in the breeze and are an interesting addition to dried flower arrangements. This herbaceous perennial does best in full sun as plants grown in part shade may grow taller and need support. Due to an extensive root system, blue false indigo will tolerate drought, but it should not be disturbed once it is established. Attractive in almost any situation including borders, prairies, cottage gardens, and native plant gardens, this plant is best used as a single specimen plant or in small groups. Baptisia australis var.

    Chapter Four: Landscaping with Native Plants A Gardener’s Guide for Missouri Landscaping with Native Plants A Gardener’s Guide for Missouri Introduction Gardening with native plants is becoming the norm rather than the exception in Missouri. The benefits of native landscaping are fueling a gardening movement that says “no” to pesticides and fertilizers and “yes” to biodiversity and creating more sustainable landscapes. Novice and professional gardeners are turning to native landscaping to reduce mainte- nance and promote plant and wildlife conservation. This manual will show you how to use native plants to cre- ate and maintain diverse and beauti- ful spaces. It describes new ways to garden lightly on the earth. Chapter Four: Landscaping with Native Plants provides tools garden- ers need to create and maintain suc- cessful native plant gardens. The information included here provides practical tips and details to ensure successful low-maintenance land- scapes. The previous three chap- ters include Reconstructing Tallgrass Prairies, Rain Gardening, and Native landscapes in the Whitmire Wildflower Garden, Shaw Nature Reserve. Control and Identification of Invasive Species. use of native plants in residential gar- den design, farming, parks, roadsides, and prairie restoration.

  • Experimental Reintroduction of the Endangered Echinacea Laevigata: Comparison of Planting Methods and Effects of Light Intensi
    EXPERIMENTAL REINTRODUCTION OF THE ENDANGERED ECHINACEA LAEVIGATA: COMPARISON OF PLANTING METHODS AND EFFECTS OF LIGHT INTENSITY ON BIOMASS AND PHOTOSYNTHESIS by HEATHER ALLEY (Under the direction of DR. JAMES M. AFFOLTER) ABSTRACT In an experimental reintroduction of the endangered species Echinacea laevigata, we tested several planting methods to determine the optimal method for establishing populations in the wild. High survival rates and comparable growth among plants from all planting methods suggests that reintroduction is a promising conservation strategy for the species and that there are various options for introducing populations. Plants performed well regardless of age at the time of planting, spacing, and presence or absence of soil amendment. Therefore, reintroduction practitioners may weigh logistical costs and benefits when choosing reintroduction methods for E. laevigata. Based on theoretical predictions and our findings, we suggest that an ideal method for establishing populations is to plant adult plants (older than one year) in the spring, without soil amendment. This recommendation is preliminary and contingent on the future survival and reproductive success of reintroduced individuals. In order to more effectively and efficiently manage E. laevigata populations, it is important to understand the role of the light environment in the species’ decline. While it is generally agreed that the species decline is in part due to the lack of fire-maintained, early successional habitat, the extent to which light limits population persistence has not been quantified. We compare the effects of high, medium and low developmental light levels on photosynthetic performance as described by light curves, and on biomass allocation. We found no significant difference in photosynthetic response among plants grown at different light levels.

    The Lady-Slipper, 20:3 / Fall 2005 1 The Lady-Slipper Kentucky Native Plant Society Number 20:3 Fall 2005 A Message from the President: NOMINATIONS Hope everyone had a great summer. I spent several weeks roaming the wilds of Michigan and SOUGHT FOR 2006 Minnesota (work projects). Experienced some great plants and natural communities but it’s KENTUCKY always great to come back to Kentucky. WILDFLOWER OF THE Our native plant certification program at Northern Kentucky University is still going great. This YEAR semester, John Thieret is teaching a course on grasses and the students are apparently loving it. For those of you that do not know John, he is one Past recipients: of the country’s leading botanists. He is Professor 1997 Butterfly Milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa) Emeritus at NKU but still does some teaching from 1998 Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinalis) time to time. He is also one of the country’s 1999 Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) leading botanical editors. 2000 Wild Columbine (Aquilegia canadensis) 2001Wild Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa) Later this semester, Deborah White will be teaching 2002 Great Blue Lobelia (Lobelia siphilitica) an elective course on rare plant conservation. 2003 Spiked Blazing Star (Liatris spicata) From what I understand the class is filling up 2004 Joe-Pye Weed (Eupatorium maculatum) quickly. 2005 Showy Goldenrod (Solidago speciosa) Our Fall meeting was a great success with about 45 in attendence. All enjoyed the presentation by Tom Barnes. The Fall colors have given way to 2006 choices: winter buds and piles of leaves. Earlier this fall, Smooth Aster (Symphyotrichum laeve) Lela and I traveled through Asheville NC on our Aromatic Aster (Symphyotrichum oblongifolium) way to Columbia SC and enjoyed a nice slash of Foxglove Beardstongue (Penstemon digitalis) Fall color along the way.
