  • Plants for Green Roofs in the Southeastern U.S
    PLANTS FOR G REEN ROOFS IN THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. Kirk Laminack Research Horticulturist Quick Summary Green roofs are expanding throughout the United States at a prolific rate. A large portion of this expansion is occurring in the southeastern climate zones. Currently, there is a gap in industry standards and academic literature pertaining to plant selection and trials. This investigation is meant to address these needs by trialing plants for their use on green roofs in a southeastern climate. Plants were selected based on a number of criteria, with considerations for being cost effective and easily obtainable in the nursery trade. Twelve 10 ft. by 15 ft. (150 ft2) structures elevated 3 feet from the ground designed to mimic a green roof were constructed in April 2015. These structures were comprised of layers typically found in a conventional green roof assembly. All structures contain the same arrangement of irrigation, drainage, plant species, and sun exposure, with six structures containing 4 inches of media and six structures containing 6 inches of media. In total, twenty-two species were trialed, with each structure containing 2 of each species randomly planted on an individual basis. Field measurements were taken monthly for the first year then measurements were reduced to every 3 months thereafter. Most species had a mortality rate below 10% except for Ruellia elegans (96%), Salvia leucantha ‘Santa Barbara’ (88%), and Talinum ‘Kingswood Gold’ (83%), Chrysogonum virginianum (42%), and Phlox subulata (29%). An overall performance rating is calculated for each species by averaging an appearance rating and plant canopy density rating. This yields a single rating that accurately characterizes the performance of each species on a scale of 0-5.

  • English Ivy (Hedera Helix)
    W231 English Ivy (Hedera helix) Becky Koepke-Hill, Extension Assistant, Plant Sciences Greg Armel, Assistant Professor, Extension Weed Specialist for Invasive Weeds, Plant Sciences Origin: English ivy is native to Europe, from northeastern Ireland to southern Scandinavia, and south to Spain. It is also native in western Asia and northern Africa. English ivy arrived in North America as a landscape plant and escaped from those landscape settings into natural areas. Description: This evergreen perennial vine can grow up to 90 feet with proper support. English ivy has two forms: juvenile and mature. Juvenile plants have leaves with three to five lobes and herbaceous stems or very thin woody stems. Mature plants have leaves with no lobes and thick woody stems, with a primary support- ing stem containing hairs similar to poison ivy. The supporting stem grows up trees or walls. Most English ivy plants in landscapes are juvenile plants. Both mature and juvenile plants have leaves with smooth edges, which are dark green with white or pale green veins. Small, inconspicuous flowers appear in the fall on mature stems and produce dark blue to black fruits. Habitat: English ivy grows in fields, hedgerows, woodlands, forest edges and upland areas. It does not thrive in wet or extremely moist areas, but will grow in a wide range of soil pH. New populations generally occur on land that has been disturbed by humans or natural occurrences. Environmental Impact: English ivy grows into thick carpets on forest floors, crowding out native vegetation, and it is one of few exotic plants that can thrive in full, deep shade.

  • Asteraceae – Aster Family
    ASTERACEAE – ASTER FAMILY Plant: herbs (annual or perennial), some shrubs, rarely vines or trees. Stem: Root: Often with tubers, rhizomes, stolons, or fleshy roots Leaves: mostly simple, some compound, alternate or opposite, rarely whorled. Flowers: flower head supported by an involucre (whorl of green bracts or phyllaries); each head composed of small flowers (composite) of flat ray-like (ligulate) flowers on the outside (ray flowers) and central tube-like flowers (disk flowers) – some species may have only one or the other. Calyx absent or modified into hairs, bristles, scales or a crown (pappus); 5 stamens (syngenesious -united by anthers); 5 united petals (sympetalous), receptacle may also have hairs or bristles. Both pappus and receptacle hairs/bristles may be used in ID. Fruit: achene (small, one-seeded, inferior ovule, 2 carpels, hard shell fruit) often with persisting crowned pappus which helps with seed dispersal. Other: Very large family, divided into sub-families and tribes, once named Compositae; 1-2,000 genera, 20,000+ species.
