How to Grow Philadelphus Position – Full sun or part shade Soil – Well-drained Flowering Period – Summer Hardiness – Fully hardy About Philadelphus Philadelphus or the more commonly known ‘Mock Orange’ are exquisite deciduous shrubs with simple leaves and fragrant bowl-shaped flowers which form a cluster effect or solitary racemes during the summer period. ‘Mock Orange’ depicts the glorious light citrus scent that floats across your garden with the breeze. They are best suited to low maintenance flower beds and borders, especially in coastal regions. They will grow to an approximate height of 80cm (32”) and a spread of 1m (40”). How to plant Philadelphus Philadelphus are best planted in well-drained soil of chalk, clay, sand or loam in an acidic, alkaline or neutral PH balance. As these shrubs are vigorous in growth, ensure that you have left plenty of space for it to thrive and reach a mature height and spread. Before planting, incorporate a generous amount of well-rotted manure or garden compost into the native soil. Once Philadelphus have been placed into the planting area, water thoroughly and deeply. They are best positioned in an area of full sun, but are equally tolerant to part shade. How to care for Philadelphus During the spring, apply a generous layer of mulch in the form of well-rotted manure or garden compost to the base of the plant as this will help to suppress weeds and retain moisture levels. Once the flowering period is over, cut older shoots back to the young growth and leave these to shoot for the following year. It is also recommended that you remove a quarter of old branches each year. Philadelphus are easy to grow and do not require regular feeding or watering throughout the year. This shrub does well in dry soil although will require moisture during periods of drought. How to propagate Philadelphus It is possible to propagate Philadelphus by hardwood cuttings during dormancy (usually from mid-autumn to late winter) or alternatively by softwood cuttings during spring. .

Native Plants for Your Backyard
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Native Plants for Your Backyard Native plants of the Southeastern United States are more diverse in number and kind than in most other countries, prized for their beauty worldwide. Our native plants are an integral part of a healthy ecosystem, providing the energy that sustains our forests and wildlife, including important pollinators and migratory birds. By “growing native” you can help support native wildlife. This helps sustain the natural connections that have developed between plants and animals over thousands of years. Consider turning your lawn into a native garden. You’ll help the local environment and often use less water and spend less time and money maintaining your yard if the plants are properly planted. The plants listed are appealing to many species of wildlife and will look attractive in your yard. To maximize your success with these plants, match the right plants with the right site conditions (soil, pH, sun, and moisture). Check out the resources on the back of this factsheet for assistance or contact your local extension office for soil testing and more information about these plants.

The Mock-Oranges
ARNOLDIA A continuation of the BULLETIN OF POPULAR INFORMATION of the Arnold Arboretum, Harvard University VOLUME ~Jr JUNE 18, 1965 NUMBER5 THE MOCK-ORANGES are about fifty species and varieties of Philadelphus being grown in THERE-~- the commercial nurseries of the United States, so there is a wealth of ma- terial from which to select ornamental plants. The collection at the Arnold Arboretum contams over one hundred species and varieties. They all have white flowers, their fruits are dried capsules and not very interesting, and the autumn color is not especially outstanding, being yellow or yellowish. In other words, they are chiefly of value during the short period when they are in bloom; but they are all grown easily in almost any normal soil, and are mostly free from injurious insect and disease pests-reason enough why they have proved popular over the years. Some plants in this group have special merit. Philadelphus coronarius, for in- stance, is excellent for planting in dry soil situations. Many of the hybrids have extremely fragrant flowers, and some of the plants, like P. laxus and P. X splen- dens, have branches which face the ground well all around and make fairly good foliage specimens throughout the length of time they retain their leaves. On the other hand, the flowers of many of the species are not fragrant, and some plants, like Philadelphus delavayi and P. X monstrosus reach heights of fifteen feet or more; they are frequently just too tall and vigorous for the small garden. There are better shrubs of this height with mteresting flowers, better autumn color, and fruits in the fall (like some of the viburnums), so, if tall shrubs are desired, it is not the mock-oranges which should have first consideration.

Wild Plants and Flowers of Idaho
Wild Plants and Flowers of Idaho Julia Schatz 1 Table of Contents Chapter 1: Idaho’s State Flower……3-4 Chapter 2: Poisonous………………………..5-7 Chapter 3: Non-Poisonous………………8-9 Life Cycle of a Plant…………………………..10 Glossary…………………………………………...11-12 Works Referenced………………………………13 Reading Quiz………………………………………….14 Common Core Standards……………………..15 2 Chapter 1: Idaho’s State Flower Idaho selected their state flower in 1931, shortly after becoming a state. They chose the Philadelphus Lewisii, which was named after Meriwether Lewis, the discoverer of the flower. The Philadelphus Lewisii is better known as the syringa flower. The syringa grows generously in the hills and mountains of Idaho’s terrain. The Syringa grows best in moist soil along rocky areas, 3 dry ravines, and streams. The Boise National Forest is most abundant with the syringa flower along Idaho’s rivers, simultaneously with the Chinook salmon’s migrating season. The syringa flower is a woody shrub with clumps of scented white flowers that can grow as tall as 10 feet. 4 Chapter 2: Poisonous There are many wild flowers native to Northern Idaho that brighten up a dirt path or side of the road during a leisure walk, but it is important to know the difference between the safe wild flowers and the poisonous wildflowers of Idaho. First off we have the Ranunculus, or Buttercup flower, found in the Idaho Panhandle National Forest and many of the North Western states. 5 Although this flower looks dainty and inviting, be cautious; the Buttercup, also known as the Little Leaf Buttercup, is very poisonous. If you have ever walked through the woods or gone on a hiking path in Idaho, you have probably come across a plant called Urtica Dioica, otherwise known as Stinging Nettles.

Philadelphus lewisii Pursh Lewis mock orange HYDRANGEACEAE Synonyms: P. gordonianus Lindl. P. cordatus Petz. & Kirchn. P. grahami Petz. & Kirchn. P. columbianus Koehne Service 1937). Lewis mock orange exhibits wide ecological amplitude, growing in communities ranging from Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirbel) Franco and Sequoia sempervirens (Lamb. ex D. Don) Endl. to Artemisia L., chaparral, and Pinus contorta Dougl. ex Loud and Pinus ponderosa P. & C. Lawson. Ecology.—Lewis mock orange grows on soils ranging from dry, rocky, gravelly loams on open hillsides, to well-drained deep, rich alluvial loams near riparian zones (USDA Forest Service 1937). It is found in early to late seral as well as in climax communities. It occurs as small thickets, isolated plants, or in association with other shrubs on talus slopes, cliffs, canyons, or rocky hillsides and in transition zones of riparian areas (Hitchcock and Illustration credits: E.G. Hurd, and Hitchcock and others others 1961, Hopkins and Kovalchik 1983). It is 1961 most common on northern and eastern exposures (USDA Forest Service 1937). The species is General Description.—Lewis mock orange, also classified as fire resistant because it resprouts from known as Indian arrowwood, Lewis syringa, mock the root crown following burning. It also orange, syringa, or western syringa, was named for regenerates from seeds that accumulate in the soil Captain Meriwether Lewis, the famous Western seed bank (Kramer and Johnson 1987). Lewis explorer, who made the first collection of the mock orange exhibits moderate drought and shade species in 1806. The state flower of Idaho, Lewis tolerance. mock orange is a long-lived and highly variable deciduous species, ranging from densely branched Reproduction.—Lewis mock orange flowers in and rounded to erect, open shrubs 1.5 to 2.5 m in late spring to early summer.

Vascular Flora of The
VASCULAR FLORA OF THE UPPER ETOWAH RIVER WATERSHED, GEORGIA by LISA MARIE KRUSE (Under the Direction of DAVID E. GIANNASI) ABSTRACT The Etowah River Basin in North Georgia is a biologically diverse Southern Appalachian River system, threatened by regional population growth. This is a two-part botanical study in the Upper Etowah watershed. The primary component is a survey of vascular flora. Habitats include riparian zones, lowland forest, tributary drainages, bluffs, and uplands. A total of 662 taxa were inventoried, and seventeen reference communities were described and mapped. Small streams, remote public land, and forested private land are important for plant conservation in this watershed. In the second component, cumulative plant species richness was sampled across six floodplain sites to estimate optimal widths for riparian buffer zones. To include 90% of floodplain species in a buffer, 60-75% of the floodplain width must be protected, depending on the stream size. Soil moisture influences species richness, and is dependent on upland water sources. An optimal buffer would protect hydrologic connections between floodplains and uplands.
