  • Plant Introductions
    Plant Introductions Promoting the garden use of native plants is a core part of Mt. Cuba Center’s mission, and since 1988, the Plant Introduction Program has brought many outstanding cultivars to market. Selected for strong ornamental appeal and broad regional adaptability, many of these introductions have risen to become some of the most popular cultivars of native plants available. Plant evaluation and introduction continues today, with several bright prospects for additional introductions in the future. Plant Introductions Actaea pachypoda ‘Misty Blue’ Misty Blue white baneberry Misty Blue white baneberry is an herbaceous perennial, selected for its unique and highly attractive soft, bluish-green foliage. It was discovered in a planting of typical green-leaved plants of unknown origin growing at Mt. Cuba Center. In spring 1" to 2" tall bottlebrush-like clusters of white flowers are borne on stems above the foliage. By September, large, white fruit with dark purple to black spots (“doll’s eyes”) mature on reddish pedicels. It is a carefree, long-lived, 24" to 36" tall plant, growing best in partial to filtered shade in evenly moist, well-drained soils with a pH from slightly acidic to neutral. Introduced 2009 Ageratina altissima ‘Chocolate’ (formerly Eupatorium rugosum) Chocolate white snakeroot Chocolate white snakeroot is an herbaceous perennial selected by Dr. Richard W. Lighty and descended from a plant found at Winterthur Gardens. It had the darkest burgundy foliage of many seedlings grown over a ten year period. ‘Chocolate’ grows up to 3' tall and has white inflorescences along with dark burgundy leaves which color best in full sun.

  • A Fall Sampler: Salvia, Corydalis, Ceratostigma
    AFALL SAMPLER Five experts pick their favorite plant for autumn display. Salvia ‘Indigo Spires’ though it begins to bloom in late spring or early summer, Salvia ‘Indigo Spires’ surges to a crescen- do of unruly flamboyance in fall. Like Medusa’s ser- pentine tresses, its curiously contorted, foot-long floral spikes, composed of tightly packed whorls of small, iri- descent, violet-blue blossoms, coil about in all direc- tions and, bouncing with bumblebees, seem to take on a life of their own. The striking color works with strong, hot oranges and golds, such as Cosmos ‘Bright Salvia Lights’, and with calmer, cooler pinks, light yellow, or ‘Indigo silver as well. Spires’ A sterile hybrid thought to be a cross between S. fari- LIGHT: Full sun nacea and S. longispicata, Salvia ‘Indigo Spires’ quickly SOIL: Moderately forms a stiff, open shrub, four feet high and wide, with moist, humus-rich, soft, faintly fuzzy, musky, medium green leaves. well draining soil. Root-hardy in USDA Zones 7b to 10, it can be HARDINESS: treated as an annual elsewhere. USDA Zones This elegant if eccentric creature enjoys full 7b–10 sun in well-drained, moderately moist, humus- rich soil. A loose mulch conserves moisture in summer and insulates the roots in winter (where it’s hardy). An occasional light pruning encourages a fuller shape and more flowers. Salvia ‘Indigo Spires’ is a hit with but- terflies and hummingbirds, too. —Carol Bishop Miller Corydalis lutea all the best flowers are yellow, and of all the yellows my favorite is Corydalis lutea. The word corydalis is Greek for crested lark—a reference to the flowers’ shape—but yellow corydalis is the only common name I can track down.

  • The Inheritance of Some Plant Colors in Cabbage'
    THE INHERITANCE OF SOME PLANT COLORS IN CABBAGE' By ROY MAGRUDEíI,^ formerly assistant horticulturist, Ohio Agricultural Experi- ment Station, and C. H. MYERS, professor, Department of Plant Breeding, New York (Cornell) Agricultural Experiment Station INTRODUCTION Until recently, only two genetic colors of Brassica were recognized, red or purple, and green. In 1924 Kristofferson called attention to a type with colored midribs which probably is the same as the type herein described as sun color. The appearance of a previously unde- scribed color type called magenta, in the cultures of the junior author immediately aroused mterest in its genetic relationship to the pre- viously described color types. The purpose of this paper is to report the results of investigations on the genetic relationships between color types which have been designated as purple, magenta, sun color, and green. REVIEW OF LITERATURE As early as 1928 Wiegmann {9)^ reported that red color in cabbage was incompletely dominant over green. E. P. F. Sutton (5), Pease (5), and Allgay er {1) also reported incomplete dominance in the Fi and concluded that only a single factor was involved in the production of the red color. In a later paper Pease {6), from his study of a blue kohlrabi X green savoy cabbage cross, concluded that the purple of blue Vienna kohlrabi was due to two complementary factors. Moldenhawer (4) obtained similar results from a purple kohlrabi X green brussels sprouts cross. A. W. Sutton (7) reports plants with purple foliage in the F2 of Drumhead cabbage X kohlrabi and Drftmhead cabbage X thousand- headed kale crosses, although no mention was made of color on the Fi or on either of the parents.

  • Black Cohosh & Endangered Species Actaea Racemosa L
    Natural Heritage Black Cohosh & Endangered Species Actaea racemosa L. Program State Status: Endangered www.mass.gov/nhesp Federal Status: None Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife DESCRIPTION: Black Cohosh (Actaea racemosa, formerly Cimicifuga racemosa) is a striking herbaceous perennial plant of the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae), with alternate, compound leaves and four to nine malodorous, wand-like, white inflorescences. Though indigenous to rich woodlands, Black Cohosh is also a common garden and herbal medicinal plant, and goes by the other common names Black Snakeroot, Squawroot, and Bugbane. AIDS TO IDENTIFICATION: The leaves of Black Cohosh are 15 to 60 cm (~6–23 in.) in length, smooth, and two to three times “ternately” (i.e., divided in three) compound, with 20 to 70 toothed leaflets. The flowering stem can be quite tall, reaching up to 2.5 m (~8 ft.) in height; it is branched, with several racemes of fetid, white flowers. Individual flowers appear as a mass of stamens with white filaments 5 to 10 mm long, topped by rounded anthers. The fruit is a thick-walled follicle, 5 to 10 mm in size. SIMILAR SPECIES: The leaves of Black Cohosh resemble those of Red Baneberry (Actaea rubra), and White Baneberry (Actaea pachypoda). Like Black Cohosh, baneberries are known from rich woodlands and have compound leaves with toothed leaflets, but they are typically much smaller plants. The most distinguishing characters are the inflorescence and the fruit; in baneberries, the inflorescence is an unbranched raceme, and the fruit are berries, not follicles. HABITAT: In Massachusetts, Black Cohosh inhabits very rich deciduous forests typically with moist alkaline soils.
