  • Artemisia Arctica Ssp. Arctica
    Floricultural Potential for Adaptable, Wind-Tolerant, Flowering Perennial, Artemisia arctica Less. ssp. arctica ‘Boreal Wormwood’ David Koser Master of Professional Studies (MPS) in Horticulture University of Minnesota 5/13/2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Artemisia arctica ssp. arctica, commonly known as ‘Boreal Wormwood’, is an herbaceous perennial of the family Asteraceae which grows to a height of approximately 25-40 cm and produces subtle, slightly aromatic, drooping, yellow to slightly red, disk flowers from July to September. It is natively found within inhospitable environments throughout the meadows and mountains of Northwestern North America and Northeast Asia. Consequently, this subspecies is extremely adaptable and resilient, possessing the ability to withstand: highly acid to slightly alkaline soil pH, moderate to dry soil moisture levels, low to moderately-high soil nitrate levels, soil disturbance caused by frequent freeze and thaw events, intense sunlight, high winds, violent storms, moderately-high heat stress and extreme cold. Accordingly, this subspecies has excellent market potential as a hardy, adaptable, low-maintenance, herbaceous, flowering perennial for retail and wholesale nursery markets in northern climates. Specifically, its late bloom-time, as well as its storm, flood and drought tolerance, make it an appealing option for consumers seeking to add mid- to late-summer seasonal interest to their gardens, and improve their landscaping’s resilience to global climate change. Historically, this subspecies was also used by native peoples to treat a large diversity of ailments, ranging from diabetes and cancer to the common cold, and may possess phytotherapeutic benefits that would enable it to be marketed as a value-added, medicinal product.

  • Trees, Shrubs, and Perennials That Intrigue Me (Gymnosperms First
    Big-picture, evolutionary view of trees and shrubs (and a few of my favorite herbaceous perennials), ver. 2007-11-04 Descriptions of the trees and shrubs taken (stolen!!!) from online sources, from my own observations in and around Greenwood Lake, NY, and from these books: • Dirr’s Hardy Trees and Shrubs, Michael A. Dirr, Timber Press, © 1997 • Trees of North America (Golden field guide), C. Frank Brockman, St. Martin’s Press, © 2001 • Smithsonian Handbooks, Trees, Allen J. Coombes, Dorling Kindersley, © 2002 • Native Trees for North American Landscapes, Guy Sternberg with Jim Wilson, Timber Press, © 2004 • Complete Trees, Shrubs, and Hedges, Jacqueline Hériteau, © 2006 They are generally listed from most ancient to most recently evolved. (I’m not sure if this is true for the rosids and asterids, starting on page 30. I just listed them in the same order as Angiosperm Phylogeny Group II.) This document started out as my personal landscaping plan and morphed into something almost unwieldy and phantasmagorical. Key to symbols and colored text: Checkboxes indicate species and/or cultivars that I want. Checkmarks indicate those that I have (or that one of my neighbors has). Text in blue indicates shrub or hedge. (Unfinished task – there is no text in blue other than this text right here.) Text in red indicates that the species or cultivar is undesirable: • Out of range climatically (either wrong zone, or won’t do well because of differences in moisture or seasons, even though it is in the “right” zone). • Will grow too tall or wide and simply won’t fit well on my property.

  • Selectionand Culture of Landscape Plants in Utah, a Guide For
    SELECTION AND CULTURE OF LANDSCAPE PLANTS IN UTAH A GUIDE FOR SOUTHWESTERN AND CENTRAL UTAH (IRON, BEAVER, KANE, MILLARD, JUAB, SANPETE, SEVIER, PIUTE, WAYNE, GARFIELD, AND PARTS OF WASHINGTON COUNTIES) Teresa A. Cerny Ornamental Horticulture Specialist Larry A. Rupp Dept Head and Professor, Plants, Soils and Biometeorology Dept Chad R. Reid Iron County Extension Agent Mike Kuhns Forestry Specialist December 2002 HG 500.3 What traveler, driving across Utah, has not marveled at its diversity of geography, climate and vegetation? From Joshua-trees in the Mojave Desert, to alpine meadows, to pinion- juniper forests set against the red sandstone of the Colorado Plateau, it is truly a state of contrasts. Ideally, Utah landscapes should be designed to be adapted to local conditions and to enhance the natural beauty of the state. Unfortunately, most of our landscapes are patterned after those found in Europe or northeastern America. Such landscapes are difficult to maintain and require more resources, such as water and fertilizer, than adapted landscapes. While there is no simple recommendation that would be valid state-wide, localized guidelines can address the diversities of climate, soils, and other factors which affect plant growth. The purpose of this series of publications is to recommend plants and landscape management procedures for various regions of the state. This edition targets the communities of Southwestern and Central Utah (Iron, Beaver, Kane, Millard, Juab, Sanpete, Sevier, Piute, Wayne, Garfield, and parts of Washington counties). These valleys are characterized by moderate to cold temperatures and short to moderate growing seasons. Cold winters, hot summers, little rainfall, and poor soils make this area one of the state's most difficult sites for growing and maintaining landscapes.
