  • 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’.

  • Hummingbird Gardening for Wisconsin Gardeners Using Native Plants
    HUMMINGBIRD GARDENING FOR WISCONSIN GARDENERS USING NATIVE PLANTS “The hummingbird is seen to stop thus some instants before a flower, and dart off like a gleam to another; it visits them all, plunging its little tongue into their bosom, caressing them with its wings, without ever settling, but at the same time ever quitting them.” W.C.L. Martin, General History of Hummingbirds, Circa 1840. KEY ELEMENTS OF A SUCCESSFUL HUMMINGBIRD GARDEN A “Wildscape” Filled With Native Plants Loved By Hummingbirds With Something in Bloom All Season Long! Well-Maintained Hummingbird Feeders from April through October (with no instant nectar or red food coloring) Cover, Perching & Preening Spots (trees & shrubs with dense, tiny branches for perching, shepherd’s hooks, tree snags, brush piles) Inclusion of Water Feature---water should be very shallow and feature should include waterfall and dripper and/or misting device to keep water moving and fresh Use of Hummingbird Beacons (red ribbons, metallic streamers, gazing ball, or any red object near feeders and flowers, especially in early spring!) NATIVE HUMMINGBIRD GARDENING & WILDSCAPING TIPS Plant Red or Orange Tubular Flowers with no fragrance (although some flowers of other colors can also be highly attractive to hummingbirds) Use Native Plants, Wildflowers & Single Flowers Plants with Many Small Blossoms Pointing Sideways or Down Use Plants With Long Bloom Period Use Plants that Bloom Profusely During August & September Create Mass Plantings (not just a single plant) of Flowers that are Hummingbird Favorites Eliminate or Greatly Decrease the Use of Turf Grass to Create a Natural Hummingbird and Wild Bird Habitat (native groundcovers can be used in place of turf grass if desired) Use Natural and/or Organic Mulches (Pine Needles, Leaves, Bark) Whenever Possible Height of Plants should be Tall, not Short (or utilize hanging baskets or large containers for shorter plants)---remember, hummingbirds are birds of the air and not the ground.

  • Pyrethrum, Coltsfoot and Dandelion: Important Medicinal Plants from Asteraceae Family
    Australian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 5(12): 1787-1791, 2011 ISSN 1991-8178 Pyrethrum, Coltsfoot and Dandelion: Important Medicinal Plants from Asteraceae Family Shahram Sharafzadeh Department of Agriculture, Firoozabad Branch, Islamic Azad University, Firoozabad, Iran Abstract: Medicinal plants synthesize substances that are useful to the maintenance of health in humans and animals. Asteraceae (Compositae) is one of the largest families contains very useful pharmaceutical genera such as chrysanthemum, Tussilago and Taraxacum. Pyrethrum is under cultivation around the world and is known for its insecticidal activity. Coltsfoot is a perennial plant. The extracts of coltsfoot exhibit antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. Dandelion is almost stemless and a perennial herb. This plant is a good indicator of environmental pollution. Dandelion has shown anti-inflammatory activity and the aqueous extract seems to have anti-tumour activity. The objective of this study was review of researches regarding to these plants and their secondary metabolites. Key words: Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium, Tussilago farfara, Taraxacum officinale, secondary metabolites, compositae. INTRODUCTION Medicinal and aromatic plants use by 80% of global population for their medicinal therapeutic effects as reported by WHO (2008). Many of these plants synthesize substances that are useful to the maintenance of health in humans and other animals. These include aromatic substances, most of which are phenols or their oxygen-substituted derivatives such as tannins. Others contain alkaloids, glycosides, saponins, and many secondary metabolites (Naguib, 2011). Asteraceae (Compositae) is one of the largest families of vascular plants represented by 22750 species and over 1528 genera all over the world (Bremer, 1994). This family contains very useful pharmaceutical genera such as chrysanthemum, Tussilago and Taraxacum (Hadaruga, et al., 2009).

Abstract Patterns of flammability across the vascular plant phylogeny, with special emphasis on the genus Dracophyllum by Xinglei Cui Fire has been part of the environment for the entire history of terrestrial plants and is a common disturbance agent in many ecosystems across the world. Fire has a significant role in influencing the structure, pattern and function of many ecosystems. Plant flammability, which is the ability of a plant to burn and sustain a flame, is an important driver of fire in terrestrial ecosystems and thus has a fundamental role in ecosystem dynamics and species evolution. However, the factors that have influenced the evolution of flammability remain unclear.

  • Is Sumac Landscape Worthy? by Heather Zevetchin, Uconn Home & Garden Education Center
    Is Sumac Landscape Worthy? By Heather Zevetchin, UConn Home & Garden Education Center Driving down the road one is met with a spectacular sight of crimson red, conical-shaped fruits extending from various treetops in a sea of green. This is a telltale sign that you’ve just seen one of the three most popular sumac tree species. The fiery red berry clusters, called drupes, are observed on staghorn sumac (Rhus typhina), smooth sumac (R. glabra), and the flameleaf or shining sumac (R. copallina). Staghorn sumac drupe. Photo by Heather Zevetchin, 2021 These trees are perceived as an invasive, a nuisance that pops up unwanted, sprouting in gardens, pavement cracks, vacant lots, and along highways. Sumac is a member of the cashew family with 150 species worldwide and dozens of species native to the United States. These small trees are outstanding at controlling erosion, tolerating road salts, flourishing in all types of soil conditions from clay to gravel, and able to withstand a wide range of soil moisture conditions. Their ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere helps them thrive in polluted city air. Staghorn sumac gets its name from the soft fuzzy hairs adorning the stems that resemble young deer antlers. The berries are also fuzzy.
