  • Germplasm Collection, Characterization, and Enhancement of Eastern Phlox Species
    GERMPLASM COLLECTION, CHARACTERIZATION, AND ENHANCEMENT OF EASTERN PHLOX SPECIES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Peter Jeffrey Zale, M.S. Graduate Program in Horticulture and Crop Science The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Pablo Jourdan, Advisor Dr. Mark Bennett Dr. David Francis Dr. John Freudenstein Copyrighted by Peter J. Zale 2014 ABSTRACT Plants from the genus Phlox have become a staple of gardens worldwide since their introduction to cultivation about 200 years ago, and are admired as versatile garden and landscape plants, container plants, and cut flowers. Their long-lasting, intensive floral displays in a variety of colors, forms, and seasons rank them among the most widely recognized hardy perennials and annuals. The floral beauty has resulted in extensive breeding and selection in three primary species: the annual Phlox drummondii, and the hardy perennials P. paniculata, and P. subulata. Among these three, hundreds of cultivars have been selected over the last 200 years, but the genus includes other species that may have ornamental potential. Phlox L. (Polemoniaceae) consists of ca. 65 species primarily endemic to North America; 20-23 species occur in the eastern U.S.A. and 40-45 in the west. The western taxa occur primarily in arid, mountainous habitats whereas the eastern taxa occur in a different range of diverse ecosystems and habitats. The eastern species are a polymorphic group arranged into 6 subsections within the genus; this group includes the three main cultivated species and also up to 20 related species that exhibit ornamental characteristics, yet are rarely cultivated.

  • Dame's Rocket
    Invasive Species in the Barrington Area Dame’s Rocket Hesperis matronalis Ecological Impact • Dame’s rocket quickly escapes cultivation because of its prolific seed set. • Many people think that it is a native wildflower because dame’s rocket is often sold in wildflower mixes. Dame’s rocket eliminates native vegetation with its profuse plant density. Characteristics Dame’s rocket is an erect, herbaceous biennial or perennial in the mustard family (Brassocaceae) growing 1.5 to 3 feet in height. The leaves are oblong, sharply toothed, and alternate. Leaves decrease in size as they ascend the stem. The pink, purple, or white four- petaled flowers form large loose, fragrant clusters that bloom from May to June. Long, narrow fruits produce many seeds which spread mechanically when the seed pods open. Ground-foraging birds eat and disperse the seeds as well. Dame’s rocket flower and leaves. Dame’s rocket generally produces a basal rosette during the first Habitat year and flowers the following year. The plant blooms prolifically and produces large quantities of seed from May into July. Each Dame’s rocket grows in moist plant may have several clusters of flowers at various stages of woodlands, woodland edges, development, enabling the plant to produce both flowers and roadsides, railroad rights-of-way, seeds at the same time. disturbed sites, waste ground, thickets, and open areas. The seed pods of dame’s rocket strongly resemble the seed pods of Garlic Mustard—another plant in the mustard family that is invasive in the Barrington area. Five petals on marsh phlox.
