  • 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.

Usually single- Text by Melanie Choukas-Bradley stalked, but some plants growing along the roadsides Artwork by Tina Thieme Brown develop multiple stalks after they have been mowed. Black-eyed Susan Habitat and Range: Meadows, fields, roadsides, Rudbeckia hirta L. clearings; most of U.S., southern Canada and into Aster or Daisy Family (Asteraceae) Mexico. Herbal Lore: According to Steven Foster and James Duke (Peterson Field Guides' Field Guide to Medicinal Plants: Eastern and Central North America), American Indians used the root tea to treat colds and expel worms and externally as a wash for swelling, body sores and snakebite. They report that the root juice was used for earaches. They also warn that some people's skin is sensitive to the touch of the plant. Similar Species: Three-lobed (or thin-leaved) coneflower (R. triloba) has a branched growth habit and its lowest leaves are usually three-lobed. (Note: Black-eyed Susan may be branching after it has been mowed.) Orange coneflower (R. fulgida) blooms in the Piedmont and mountains from late summer through fall. It has slightly smaller flower heads than black- eyed Susan. According to Maryland Native Plant Society President Cris Fleming, both species are on the watch list in Maryland and are unlikely to be seen. Blooming Time: June - October.

  • Landscaping Near Black Walnut Trees
    Selecting juglone-tolerant plants Landscaping Near Black Walnut Trees Black walnut trees (Juglans nigra) can be very attractive in the home landscape when grown as shade trees, reaching a potential height of 100 feet. The walnuts they produce are a food source for squirrels, other wildlife and people as well. However, whether a black walnut tree already exists on your property or you are considering planting one, be aware that black walnuts produce juglone. This is a natural but toxic chemical they produce to reduce competition for resources from other plants. This natural self-defense mechanism can be harmful to nearby plants causing “walnut wilt.” Having a walnut tree in your landscape, however, certainly does not mean the landscape will be barren. Not all plants are sensitive to juglone. Many trees, vines, shrubs, ground covers, annuals and perennials will grow and even thrive in close proximity to a walnut tree. Production and Effect of Juglone Toxicity Juglone, which occurs in all parts of the black walnut tree, can affect other plants by several means: Stems Through root contact Leaves Through leakage or decay in the soil Through falling and decaying leaves When rain leaches and drips juglone from leaves Nuts and hulls and branches onto plants below. Juglone is most concentrated in the buds, nut hulls and All parts of the black walnut tree produce roots and, to a lesser degree, in leaves and stems. Plants toxic juglone to varying degrees. located beneath the canopy of walnut trees are most at risk. In general, the toxic zone around a mature walnut tree is within 50 to 60 feet of the trunk, but can extend to 80 feet.

While this document provides general guidelines, specific site requirements must be properly evaluated to ensure the successful re-establishment of disturbed buffer areas. State Waters that Require Stream Buffers The term “state waters” is defined in Section 12-7-3(16) of the Georgia Erosion and Sedimentation Act as follows: “Any and all rivers, stream, creeks, branches, lakes reservoirs, ponds, drainage systems, springs, wells and other bodies of surface, or subsurface water, natural or artificial, lying within or forming a part of the boundaries of the State which are not entirely confined and retained completely upon the property of a single individual, partnership or corporation.” Buffer Revegetation Guidelines Areas within all buffers must have 100-percent coverage with native plants. Refer to attached Appendix A for a list of suitable plants. These plants shall be installed in the following proportions: 40% Large Trees – only 20% of the total quantity of large trees may be pine 25% Small Trees 20% Shrubs 15% Forbs -Grasses/Ground Cover/Perennials Plus – Installation of Native Grasses of Areas Disturbed Plants in each category have the following square-foot value: Large Trees: 200 sq.ft. each, minimum 10’ height and 1 ½” caliber. Small Trees: 100 sq.ft. each, minimum 6-8’ height Shrubs: 25 sq.ft. each, minimum 3 gallon size Forbs: 25 sq.ft. each, minimum 1 gallon size Native Grass Seeding Should Consist of Stabilization of Impacted Area Generally, no more than 25% of the trees and shrubs required may be one species.
