Native Herbaceous Perennials and Ferns for Shade Gardens
Green Spring Gardens 4603 Green Spring Rd ● Alexandria ● VA 22312 Phone: 703-642-5173 ● TTY: 703-803-3354 www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/greenspring NATIVE HERBACEOUS PERENNIALS AND FERNS FOR � SHADE GARDENS IN THE WASHINGTON, D.C. AREA � Native plants are species that existed in Virginia before Jamestown, Virginia was founded in 1607. They are uniquely adapted to local conditions. Native plants provide food and shelter for a myriad of birds, butterflies, and other wildlife. Best of all, gardeners can feel the satisfaction of preserving a part of our natural heritage while enjoying the beauty of native plants in the garden. Hardy herbaceous perennials form little or no woody tissue and live for several years. Some of these plants are short-lived and may live only three years, such as wild columbine, while others can live for decades. They are a group of plants that gardeners are very passionate about because of their lovely foliage and flowers, as well as their wide variety of textures, forms, and heights. Most of these plants are deciduous and die back to the ground in the winter. Ferns, in contrast, have no flowers but grace our gardens with their beautiful foliage. Herbaceous perennials and ferns are a joy to garden with because they are easily moved to create new design combinations and provide an ever-changing scene in the garden. They are appropriate for a wide range of shade gardens, from more formal gardens to naturalistic woodland gardens. The following are useful definitions: Cultivar (cv.) – a cultivated variety designated by single quotes, such as ‘Autumn Bride’. -

How to Identify Species: the Golden Key
How to Identify Species: the Golden Key The Indiana flora consists of approximately 2700 species. So how can one tell what species one has in hand? Some excellent print publications could be consulted. However, the CMH (midwestherbaria.org) website includes a tool that should prove helpful in narrowing in on a particular species - the Golden Key. The best way to employ the key is to approach it from one of the prepared checklists (see the Working with Species Checklists document to learn how to enter an ecoregion checklist). Alternatively, but more challenging, one could create a checklist via a Specimen Search (see the Searching the CMH Database document). In this example, we shall use the checklist for the Bluegrass Ecoregion. Start with the Flora Projects on the home page navigation bar: Flora Projects > Indiana. On the menu of checklists find Ecoregion: Bluegrass. Note that there is a gold color key to the right of the name of the checklist. A click on it will open a page with two columns shown below. The right hand column is a list of traits. The left hand column is the list of candidate species. As the search begins, note that the Bluegrass region has 1465 species. The example will follow the steps leading as close as possible to False Rue-Anemone, Enemion biternatum. If you are familiar with the species you will know that it is an herbaceous plant with basal and alternate, compound leaves, white flowers that only have one whorl of color parts (i.e., sepals but not petals), numerous stamens, and multiple ovaries that form so-called follicle fruits. -

C9 Build Me up Buttercup
Why do you build me up, Buttercup Baby? Revised 04 May 2015 BUTTERCUP TABLE OF CONTENTS RANUNCULACEAE Aconitum Coptis Actaea Delphinium Anemone Hepatica Anemonella Hydrastis Aquilegia Isopyrum Caltha Ranunculus Cimicifuga Thalictrum Clematis Trollius Consolida RANUNCULACEAE AL de Jussieu 1789 BUTTERCUP FAMILY A family of ca 62 genera & 2450 spp of herbs, shrubs, & vines, of temperate & boreal regions. N Almost all genera have narcotic properties, some of them being ‘highly prejudicial to animal life’. These properties are lessened by boiling heat or by drying, or heightened by spirits & sugar. Fruits are achenes, berries, or follicles. The BUTTERCUP family has many species with hydrophilic, or recalcitrant, seeds. Care must be taken in their proper use in restoration. The follicles of some species resemble medieval jester hats. Some Saxifragaceae produce similar fruits, ie the garden Peonie. why do you build me up (build me up) buttercup baby? just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around? and then worst of all (worst of all) you never call baby like you say you will (say you will) but I love you still I need you (I need you) more than anyone darlin you know that I have from the start so build me up (build me up) buttercup don’t break my heart Mike D’Abo & Tony Macaulay 1968 Folliculi, a typical fruit type in Ranunculaceae, on Aquilegia ACONITUM Linnaeus 1753 MONKSHOOD, ACONITE, WOLF-BANE Ranunculaceae Aconitum from the Latin name, aconitum, the Monk's Hood, a poisonous plant, from ancient Greek ακονιτον, akoniton, loosely translated as unconquerable poison or according to Pliny, the name aconite is from the Black Sea port of Aconis. -

The apetalous velopment was established before the diversification of extant condition, however, appears to be the result of parallel or angiosperms. Then, during evolution, this program has been fi convergent evolution with unknown genetic causes. Here we modi ed in different directions and to varying degrees, giving show that within the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae), apetalous rise to the production of a huge variety of petals and petaloid genera in at least seven different lineages were all derived from structures (6, 17). -

Christy Occasional Paper 3 of the Native Plant Society of Oregon 2009 Recommended citation: Christy, J.A., A. Kimpo, V. Marttala, P.K. Gaddis & N.L. Christy. 2009. Urbanizing flora of Portland, Oregon, 1806-2008. Native Plant Society of Oregon Occasional Paper 3: 1-319. © Native Plant Society of Oregon and John A. Christy Second printing with corrections and additions, December 2009 ISSN: 1523-8520 Design and layout: John A. Christy and Diane Bland. Printing by Lazerquick. Dedication This Occasional Paper is dedicated to the memory of Scott D. Sundberg, whose vision and perseverance in launching the Oregon Flora Project made our job immensely easier to complete. It is also dedicated to Martin W. Gorman, who compiled the first list of Portland's flora in 1916 and who inspired us to do it again 90 years later. Acknowledgments We wish to acknowledge all the botanists, past and present, who have collected in the Portland-Vancouver area and provided us the foundation for our study. We salute them and thank them for their efforts. We extend heartfelt thanks to the many people who helped make this project possible. Rhoda Love and the board of directors of the Native Plant Society of Oregon (NPSO) exhibited infinite patience over the 5-year life of this project. Rhoda Love (NPSO) secured the funds needed to print this Occasional Paper. Katy Weil (Metro) and Deborah Lev (City of Portland) obtained funding for a draft printing for their agencies in June 2009.
