2021 Introductions Catalog 10702 Seaman Road • Hebron, IL 60034 • USA TEL: (815) 648-2788 TOLL FREE: (800) 648-2788 www.intrinsicperennialgardens.com January 2021 Despite the challenges of 2020, we had one of our best years. We continue to focus our attention on the plants we have found to be durable and valuable in the garden. 2021 will be my 30th year growing perennials. Here some of my favorite new introductions. Allium x ‘Big Beauty’ PPAF is showy right from spring emergence. Wide gray-green foliage is substantial followed by 18-24” stems in July. Silvery buds open to soft pink 2”+ flower heads.Lobelia cardinalis ‘Pink Flame’ is a pink twist on the normally red cardinal flower. This new seed strain is vigorous, growing 3’- 4’ tall. Ideal conditions are moist yet drained soil. Monarda bradburiana ‘Midnight Oil’ PPAF is an exceptionally vigorous and disease-free selection. Chocolatey-red new growth remains clean of foliar diseases. Same soft pink flowers with wine red spots in June on 18” tall and wide plants. Rudbeckia x ‘Sweet as Honey’ PPAF is a new look in black eyed susans. Many small yellow flowers are held on upright stems over extra thin basal foliage. It is a perfect companion with short grasses. Rudbeckia x ‘American Gold Rush’ continues to be our top seller. We have two new grass introductions. Andropogon gerardii ‘Holy Smoke’ PPAF has silvered gray foliage with nearly constant smoky purple to red highlights adding a constant complexity to it. It is very nice paired with Echinacea. One of our most exciting grass intros, Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Pure Energy’ PPAF, is a wide blade, gold foliage fountain grass. Extra bright gold foliage June-September on substantial 30’’+ plants. Reddish bottle brush flowers start in August. Both of these new grasses are being grown in Korea now, too. It looks very nice with ‘Love and Rockets’ PPAF, our short red fountain grass. John Friel called it a Hakonechloa ‘All Gold” for full sun. In 2020 Andropogon gerardii ‘Blackhawks’ was awarded Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Love and Rockets’ PPAF and ‘Pure Energy’ PPAF an ISU award in the EU. Sedum spurium ‘Rock Candy’ PPAF is bound to become a groundcover legend. For those looking for a short colorful foliage all year long, this is one to try. Red-purple foliage is both smaller and tighter on 2-3” p Our Breeding Philosophy P tall plants with rose colored flowers in July just above. Thank you for your continued support of my breeding. Here’s to staying healthy. Cheers! Our plants are bred and selected in the tough conditions of the Midwest with hot humid summers and cold wet winters. We strive to breed plants not as a means, but with an end in mind. Brent Horvath- Breeder Our goals are simple- improved, durable, ornamental garden plants for our own climate and the rest of the world! Our plants are bred to stand the test of time, if they don’t survive or thrive in the garden why bother. a 2 On the cover: Rudbeckia x ‘Sweet as Honey’ PPAF d3 Intrinsic Introductions Intrinsic Introductions Genus species Variety/Color COMMON NAME Genus species Variety/Color COMMON NAME Allium cernuum ‘Falling Stars’ - white Nodding Onion Lobelia cardinalis ‘Pink Flame’ Cardinal Flower Allium schoenoprasum ‘Rising Star’ Dwarf Chives Molinia arundinacea ‘Dutch Dreamer’ Tall Moor Grass Allium x ‘Big Beauty’ PPAF Ornamental Onion Monarda bradburiana ‘Midnight Oil’ PPAF Bee Balm Allium x ‘Chivette’ PP#30,151 Ornamental Onion Monarda x ‘Mojo’ PP#29,982 Bee Balm Allium x ‘Windy City’ PP#28,100 Ornamental Onion Orostachys x ‘Octopus Garden’ strain Chinese Dunce Caps Amsonia tabernaemontana ‘Fontana’ Bluestar Panicum virgatum ‘Prairie Dog’ PP#32,736 Switch Grass Amsonia tabernaemontana ‘Short Stop’ Baseball Bluestar Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Ginger Love’ PP#26,442 Ginger Love Fountain Grass Amsonia x ‘Bases Loaded’ Baseball Bluestar Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Love and Rockets’ PPAF Dwarf Fountain Grass Amsonia x ‘Halfway to Arkansas’ Bluestar Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Piglet’ PP#19,074 Dwarf Fountain Grass Amsonia x ‘Midway to Montana’ Bluestar Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Pure Energy’ PPAF Golden Fountain Grass Amsonia x ‘Seventh Inning Stretch’ Baseball Bluestar Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Red Head’ Red Head Fountain Grass Andropogon gerardii ‘Blackhawks’ PP#27,949 Big Bluestem Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Red Rocket’ PP#28,715 Red Rocket Fountain Grass Andropogon gerardii ‘Dancing Wind’ PP#26,892 Big Bluestem Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Yellow Ribbons’ PP#31,362 Golden Fountain Grass Andropogon gerardii ‘Holy Smoke’ PPAF Big Bluestem Penstemon digitalis ‘Pocahontas’ PP#24,804 Beardtongue Andropogon gerardii ‘Red October’ PP#26,283 Big Bluestem Polemonium x ‘Heaven Scent’ PP#20,214 Jacobs Ladder Bouteloua gracilis ‘Honeycomb’ PPAF Blue Grama Polygonatum x ‘Prince Charming’ PP#22,304 Dwarf Solomon’s Seal Carex pensylvanica ‘Straw Hat’ PP#29,432 Penn Sedge Prunella vulgaris ‘Magdalena’ PP#31,876 Selfheal Delosperma x ‘Mountain Dew’ PP#31,543 Ice Plant Rudbeckia x ‘American Gold Rush’ PP#28,498 Black Eyed Susan Delosperma x ‘Orange Crush’ PP#30,806 Ice Plant Rudbeckia x ‘Glitters Like Gold’ PP#30,933 Black Eyed Susan Dianthus x ‘Fuchsia Fire’ PPAF Pinks Rudbeckia x ‘Sweet as Honey’ PPAF Black Eyed Susan Echinacea purpurea ‘Deep Pink Showoff’ Purple Coneflower Salvia elegans ‘Golden Delicious’ PP#17,977 Golden Pineapple Sage Echinacea purpurea ‘Showoff’ Purple Coneflower Salvia nemorosa ‘Lurie strain’ Perennial Salvia Echinacea purpurea ‘White Showoff’ White Coneflower Salvia nemorosa ‘Sixteen Candles’ PPAF Meadow Sage Eryngium yuccifolium ‘Prairie Moon’ Dwarf Rattlesnake Master Schyzachrium scoparium ‘Jazz’ Little Bluestem Eupatorium perfoliatum ‘Milk and Cookies’ Boneset Sedum album ‘Nerds’ Stonecrop Eupatorium x ‘Polished Brass’ Boneset Sedum (Phedimus) ellacombianum ‘Cutting Edge’ PP#28,926 Stonecrop Festuca x ‘Cool as Ice’ PP#27,651 Cool Blue Fescue Sedum sexangulare ‘Yellowstone’ PPAF Stonecrop Geum x ‘Alabama Slammer’ PP#23,750 Garden Gems Sedum spurium ‘Rock Candy’ PPAF Two Row Stonecrop Geum x ‘Banana Daiquiri’ PP#25,351 Garden Gems Sedum x ‘Beka USPP#18,398 Autumn Delight™ Geum x ‘Champagne’ Garden Gems Sedum x ‘Bundle of Joy’ PPAF Showy Stonecrop Geum x ‘Cherry Bomb’ PPAF Garden Gems Sedum x ‘Lajos USPP# 14,421 Autumn Charm™ Geum x ‘Citronge’ PP#28,893 Garden Gems Sedum x ‘Lime Joy’ PP#32,135 Showy Stonecrop Geum x ‘Coppertone Punch’ PP#28,376 Garden Gems Sedum x ‘Peace and Joy’ PP#30,858 Showy Stonecrop Geum x ‘Cosmopolitan’ PP#24,982 Garden Gems Sedum x ‘Pillow Talk’ PP#28,528 Showy Stonecrop Geum x ‘Gimlet’ PP#26,223 Garden Gems Sedum x ‘Pure Joy’ PP#24,194 Showy Stonecrop Geum x ‘Mai Tai’ PP#22,433 Garden Gems Sedum x ‘Rock Star’ PP#29,036 Showy Stonecrop Geum x ‘Sangria’ Garden Gems Sedum x ‘Sunset Boulevard’ PP#32,697 Showy Stonecrop Geum x ‘Sea Breeze’ PP#26,437 Garden Gems Sedum x ‘Thundercloud’ PP#21,833 Showy Stonecrop Geum x ‘Solid Gold Dancer’ PP#29,656 Garden Gems Stachys x ‘Summer Crush’ PP#29,899 Betony Geum x ‘Tequila Sunrise’ PP#21,514 Garden Gems Stachys x ‘Summer Romance’ PP#30,243 Betony Geum x ‘Top Shelf Margarita’ PP#30,670 Garden Gems Vernonia x ‘Southern Cross’ Ironweed Geum x ‘Wet Kiss’ PP#27,227 Garden Gems Veronica incana ‘Pure Silver’ Wooly Speedwell Hosta x ‘Hasta Mañana’ PP#30,157 Hosta Veronica x ‘Good Night Irene’ Spike Speedwell Lamium maculatum ‘Ghost’ Lamium Veronica x ‘Kiss the Sky’ PP#31,665 Spike Speedwell Leucanthemum superbum ‘Daisy Duke’ PP#21,914 Dasiy May® Veronica x ‘Spike’ PP#27,814 Spike Speedwell Liatris ligulistylis ‘Butterfly Magnet’ Meadow Blazing Star Veronicastrum virginicum ‘Queen of Diamonds’ Culver’s Root Lobelia cardinalis ‘Golden Torch’ PP#19,844 Cardinal Flower a 4 New plants for 2021 are shown in blue.

  • 3 Invasive Species in the Sonoran Desert Region

    3 Invasive Species in the Sonoran Desert Region

    3 Invasive Species in the Sonoran Desert Region 11 INVASIVE SPECIES IN THE SONORAN DESERT REGION Invasive species are altering the ecosystems of the Sonoran Desert Region. Native plants have been displaced resulting in radically different habitats and food for wildlife. Species like red brome and buffelgrass have become dense enough in many areas to carry fire in the late spring and early summer. Sonoran Desert plants such as saguaros, palo verdes and many others are not fire- adapted and do not survive these fires. The number of non-native species tends to be lowest in natural areas of the Sonoran Desert and highest in the most disturbed and degraded habitats. However, species that are unusually aggressive and well adapted do invade natural areas. In the mid 1900’s, there were approximately 146 non-native plant species (5.7% of the total flora) in the Sonoran Desert. Now non-natives comprise nearly 10% of the Sonoran Desert flora overall. In highly disturbed areas, the majority of species are frequently non-native invasives. These numbers continue to increase. It is crucial that we monitor, control, and eradicate invasive species that are already here. We must also consider the various vectors of dispersal for invasive species that have not yet arrived in Arizona, but are likely to be here in the near future. Early detection and reporting is vital to prevent the spread of existing invasives and keep other invasives from arriving and establishing. This is the premise of the INVADERS of the Sonoran Desert Region program at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.

This has raised concerns about their impacts, particularly on shared resources with humans, e.g., timber trees. Understanding how different ungulate species use trophic resources is therefore a crucial component of managing their populations. In this thesis, I synthesized data from the literature and used faecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate diets and patterns of resource partitioning for ungulate communities in Sweden and at the European scale. I also evaluated the reliability of dung morphometry for identifying ungulate species. I found that species identification of faecal pellets is difficult where similar-sized ungulates coexist which questions the reliability of pellet counts as a monitoring technique in such systems. Dung morphometry could, however, clearly distinguish moose from the smaller deer species. Across Europe, average diets of the four main deer species fit well with predictions by Hofmann’s hypothesis of ruminant feeding types. Red and fallow deer (mixed feeders) showed larger dietary plasticity than moose and roe deer (browsers).

Gebow, editors Technical Report No. 68 United States Geological Survey Sonoran Desert Field Station The University of Arizona Tucson, Arizona USGS Sonoran Desert Field Station The University of Arizona, Tucson The Sonoran Desert Field Station (SDFS) at The University of Arizona is a unit of the USGS Western Ecological Research Center (WERC). It was originally established as a National Park Service Cooperative Park Studies Unit (CPSU) in 1973 with a research staff and ties to The University of Arizona. Transferred to the USGS Biological Resources Division in 1996, the SDFS continues the CPSU mission of providing scientific data (1) to assist U.S. Department of Interior land management agencies within Arizona and (2) to foster cooperation among all parties overseeing sensitive natural and cultural resources in the region. It also is charged with making its data resources and researchers available to the interested public. Seventeen such field stations in California, Arizona, and Nevada carry out WERC’s work. The SDFS provides a multi-disciplinary approach to studies in natural and cultural sciences. Principal cooperators include the School of Renewable Natural Resources and the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at The University of Arizona. Unit scientists also hold faculty or research associate appointments at the university. The Technical Report series distributes information relevant to high priority regional resource management needs. The series presents detailed accounts of study design, methods, results, and applications possibly not accommodated in the formal scientific literature. Technical Reports follow SDFS guidelines and are subject to peer review and editing.

This research reflects the data available at the time this evaluation was conducted. Summary Pennisetum alopecuroides (Cenchrus purpurascens) appears to present a high risk of invasiveness in Illinois. The plant produces copious viable seeds which can be moved great distances by multiple means. Promoting fire and invading pastures could have a significant impact on other plants and animals, though evidence for these impacts is speculative. Populations in the wild in the US seem to be relatively recent. It's noted as an emerging invasive in the Mid-Atlantic states. Only one city and county in Virginia are currently listing it as invasive. Pennisetum alopecuroides therefore presents a risk and should be closely

  • Extensive Vegitative Roof Plant List

    Extensive Vegitative Roof Plant List

    Recommended Plant List for Extensive Vegetated Roofs Fairfax County, Virginia February 1, 2007 RECOMMENDED PLANT LIST FOR EXTENSIVE VEGETATED ROOFS – Fairfax County, Virginia The following list of plants for extensive vegetated roofs was developed by staff from the Department of Public Works and Environmental Services (Storm Water Planning Division and Urban Forest Management Division). It is a “recommended” list of plants for use in extensive vegetated roofs. These plants were chosen because they are known to perform well in our area in growing medium depths of about four inches. The list is not exhaustive and is intended to give the designer a palette of plant materials to choose from. Other species may be used, and the acceptability of proposed plant materials is subject to review and approval by the Director. This plant list may be updated periodically to reflect other species that have been shown to perform well in extensive vegetated roofs in our area. Design guidelines for vegetated roofs can be found in the Public Facilities Manual § 6-1310. KEY: • Light: The amount of sunlight a plant requires is defined as: o Full sun 5, the site is in direct sunlight for at least six hours daily during the growing season. o Partial shade , the site receives approximately three to six hours of direct sunlight or lightly filtered light throughout the day. o Shade , the site receives less than three hours of direct sunlight or heavily dappled light throughout the day. • Moisture: The amount of soil moisture a plant requires is defined as: o Dry (D), areas where water does not remain after a rain; supplemental watering will not be needed, except under the most extreme drought conditions.

ZIKA2 1 Strada Val San Martino sup. 194. 10131, Torino, Italy. E-mail: [email protected] 2 WTU Herbarium, Box 355325, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195-5325, USA. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Sedum rupestre L. and its close relatives (Sedum series Rupestria) are native to Europe. Adventive populations in North America were studied both in the field and the herbaria. Our results exclude S. rupestre L. and include recognition of two additional taxa on the continent, which are distinguished with keys and illustrations: Sedum forsterianum documented as a naturalized species in the United States, from Washington, and in British Columbia, Canada and Sedum thartii, naturalized in Colorado, Maine, Ohio, Oregon, Washington and Ontario, Canada. A lectotype is established for S. forsterianum. Key words: Alien, stonecrop, typification Introduction The genus Sedum Linnaeus (1753: 430) is widespread in Europe, Africa, Asia and America and includes roughly 400 to 475 taxa according to the most recent authors (Eggli et al. 1995, ‘t Hart & Bleij 2003, Thiede & Eggli 2007, Ohba 2009). Berger (1930) devised an infrafamilial classification of the Crassulaceae. Within the genus Sedum he recognised “Sektion 17” (Sedum proper, his “Seda genuina”) and, inside it, several “Reihen” or series.
