  • Designing a Mixed Border
    DESIGNING A MIXED BORDER A mixed border, as distinct from an old-fashioned herbaceous border, offers the opportunity to use the greatest range of plant material and gives the longest season of interest. Start with bulbs and early perennials in spring, then summer bulbs and later perennials. Add good half-hardy annuals to take the season through to late autumn, then use evergreen shrubs and hellebores to keep the interest going in winter. Consider shape, colour and texture when planning plantings, along with height, flowering period and foliage. Shrubs: Bupleurum fruticosum Fatsia japonica Mahonia x media ‘Charity’ Annuals: Tithonia rotundifolia ‘Torch’ Cleome spinosa Cosmos bipinnatus Nicotiana sylvestris Nicotiana langsdorfii Monarda x hybrida ‘Lambada’ Early summer: Iris germanica Verbascum ‘Southern Charm’ Aquilegia vulgaris Achillea Hemerocallis Euphorbia characias ssp. Wulfenii Late summer: Veronicastrum virginicum Schizostylis coccinea Helenium autumnale Phygelius capensis Phlox paniculata Echinacea purpurea Actaea (Cimicifuga) simplex Anthemis tinctoria Lobelia tupa ‘Everlastings’: Persicaria amplexicaulis ‘Firetail’ Verbena bonariensis Geranium ‘Bill Wallis’ LATE SUMMER BORDERS Colour in the late summer border comes principally from perennials and annuals, although some shrubs contribute too. Callicarpa bodnieri 'Profusion', a rather undistinguished shrub, produces masses of vivid purple berries. Hardy fuchsias are at their best now, and there are a larger range of varieties than might be supposed. The graceful Fuchsia magellanica 'Versicolour' is hard to beat and fits into the garden scene better than the larger flowered hybrids; 'Sharpitor' is excellent too. Abelia x grandiflora begins producing its pink flushed white flowers in August, and its neat evergreen leaves are an asset to the border throughout the year.

Thaddeus Zagorski University of Tasmania Date: ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis is not merely the achievement of a personal goal, but a culmination of a journey that started many, many years ago. As culmination it is also an impetus to continue to that journey. In achieving this personal goal many people, supervisors, friends, family and University colleagues have been instrumental in contributing to the final product. The initial motivation and inspiration for me to start this study was given by Professor Jamie Kirkpatrick, Dr. Elaine Stratford, and my friend Alison Howman. For that challenge I thank you. I am deeply indebted to my three supervisors Professor Jamie Kirkpatrick, Dr. Elaine Stratford and Dr. Aidan Davison. Each in their individual, concerted and special way guided me to this omega point.

  • Lamiales – Synoptical Classification Vers
    Lamiales – Synoptical classification vers. 2.6.2 (in prog.) Updated: 12 April, 2016 A Synoptical Classification of the Lamiales Version 2.6.2 (This is a working document) Compiled by Richard Olmstead With the help of: D. Albach, P. Beardsley, D. Bedigian, B. Bremer, P. Cantino, J. Chau, J. L. Clark, B. Drew, P. Garnock- Jones, S. Grose (Heydler), R. Harley, H.-D. Ihlenfeldt, B. Li, L. Lohmann, S. Mathews, L. McDade, K. Müller, E. Norman, N. O’Leary, B. Oxelman, J. Reveal, R. Scotland, J. Smith, D. Tank, E. Tripp, S. Wagstaff, E. Wallander, A. Weber, A. Wolfe, A. Wortley, N. Young, M. Zjhra, and many others [estimated 25 families, 1041 genera, and ca. 21,878 species in Lamiales] The goal of this project is to produce a working infraordinal classification of the Lamiales to genus with information on distribution and species richness. All recognized taxa will be clades; adherence to Linnaean ranks is optional. Synonymy is very incomplete (comprehensive synonymy is not a goal of the project, but could be incorporated). Although I anticipate producing a publishable version of this classification at a future date, my near- term goal is to produce a web-accessible version, which will be available to the public and which will be updated regularly through input from systematists familiar with taxa within the Lamiales. For further information on the project and to provide information for future versions, please contact R. Olmstead via email at [email protected], or by regular mail at: Department of Biology, Box 355325, University of Washington, Seattle WA 98195, USA.

  • Container Brochure 2015.Psd
    Warm Weather Containers 2015 – The Scott Arboretum Container gardening has attained growing popularity as it is ideal for gardeners who may not have the time, space, or economic means to garden on a large scale. Containers need not be restricted to traditional terra cotta or plastic, but can be anything sizable, durable, and fashioned out of various materials, such as metal or wood. Our examples are intended to inform and inspire anyone to indulge in container gardening. Each container at the Scott Arboretum has a numbered stake corresponding to the number found within this brochure. For each numbered container, the plants are listed with a short description allowing visitors to pinpoint specific plants. Containers designed and planted by Josh Coceano and John Bickel. Wister Center: 1.

  • The Disintegration of the Scrophulariaceae and the Biological Control of Buddleja Davidii
    The disintegration of the Scrophulariaceae and the biological control of Buddleja davidii M.K. Kay,1 B. Gresham,1 R.L. Hill2 and X. Zhang3 Summary The woody shrub buddleia, Buddleja davidii Franchet, is an escalating weed problem for a number of resource managers in temperate regions. The plant’s taxonomic isolation within the Buddlejaceae was seen as beneficial for its biological control in both Europe and New Zealand. However, the re- cent revision of the Scrophulariaceae has returned Buddleja L. to the Scrophulariaceae sensu stricto. Although this proved of little consequence to the New Zealand situation, it may well compromise Eu- ropean biocontrol considerations. Host-specificity tests concluded that the biocontrol agent, Cleopus japonicus Wingelmüller (Coleoptera, Curculionidae), was safe to release in New Zealand. This leaf- feeding weevil proved capable of utilising a few non-target plants within the same clade as Buddleja but exhibited increased mortality and development times. The recent release of the weevil in New Zealand offers an opportunity to safely assess the risk of this agent to European species belonging to the Scrophulariaceae.
