They are disease resistant perennial plants that enhance the structure and beauty of any garden and produce some of the best cut flowers available. They bloom during the transition from spring into summer. The shining green leaves remain throughout the sum- mer, die back to the ground in winter and reemerge each spring. Herbaceous peonies require little care and live for generations. ‘Burma Joy’ ‘Coral Charm’ ‘Dayglow Rose’ ‘Firelight’ ‘Pink Hawaiian Coral’ ‘Nancy Nichols’ ‘J.H. Wigell’ Monsieur Jules Elle ‘Sword Dance’ ‘Petticoat Flounce’ ‘Topeka Garnet’ ‘Krinkled White’ ‘Kansas’ ‘Scarlet O’Hara’ ‘Lancaster Imp’ ‘Ma Petite Cherie’ ‘Peach Strudel’ 9 Itoh Peonies Intersectional Peonies, also know as Itoh, are a hybrid created by crossing a tree peony with an herbaceous peony. These peonies produce tree peony flowers and leaves on plants that behave like herbaceous peonies, dying down to the ground in winter and reemerging each spring. A ma- ture plant may produce 50 or more dinner-plate sized flowers on strong short stems that do not require staking. They reach peak bloom near the end of the herbaceous peony bloom. Each plant can remain in bloom for 3-4 weeks with new buds continually opening over this period. They will grow to three feet tall and wide and continue to improve with age. ‘First Arrival’ ‘Julia Rose’ ‘Scarlet Heaven’ ‘Canary Brilliants’ 10 11 Caladiums!

  • Passiflora Incarnata Family: the Passionflower Family, Passifloraceae
    Of interest this week at Beal... Purple Passionflower Passiflora incarnata Family: the Passionflower family, Passifloraceae. Also called May-Pop, and Wild apricot W. J. Beal The purple passionflower, Passiflora incarnata,is an herbaceous vine, native to the Botanical Garden southeast quadrant of North America. It, and its fruit often are called maypops. It is the fruits of passionflowers that provide the most popular of the food uses for the plant, used in drinks and ice creams. But it is the flower, captivating by its complex beauty, and its history as an icon of Christian myth that generate the most interest. There are many passionflower species (Passiflora spp.) and all of them are native to the new world tropics, or near-tropics. Depending on which taxonomy you choose, there are between 400 and 600 species in this genus. The purple passionflower is found farther outside the tropics than any other passionflower. It has been found at least as far north as Missouri in the West and New Jersey in the eastern United States. Although the intricate and striking flowers are beautiful and fragrant, their connection to passion is not over love or romance. Passion, in this context, refers to the Passion of Christ. Spanish Christian missionaries, saw the numerological aspects of the flower as a sign from God that their mission in the New World was God’s will. When the Vatican received the first drawings of the flowers, the clerics reviewing them thought the illustrations were so fanciful as to not be real. It was not until much later, after many missionaries were interviewed, that these unmistakable flowers were accepted as a possibly real organism.

  • Solomon's Seal Cultivation
    SOLOMON’S SEAL: CULTIVATION & FOLKLORE Edited by C. F. McDowell, PhD Cortesia Herbal Products • www.solomonsseal.net Solomon's Seal (polygonatum biflorum, multiflorum, odoratum, etc.) is a medicinal herb that has diverse health restorative properties. It can be used as a herbal tincture, salve, tea or supplement. As an alternative remedy, it may offer relief, healing or mending to sports injuries and other conditions related to tendons, joints, ligaments, bones, bruises, connecting tissues, cartilage, etc. It also soothes and repairs gastrointestinal inflammation and injuries. It is effective for feminine issues, such as menstrual cramps, PMS, bleeding, and the like. Additionally, it is known to lower blood pressure and relieve dry coughs. Solomon's Seal has a rich history that goes back many thousands of years. Herbalists and healers, both in Europe and North America and the Far East, have written about its diverse effects on numerous conditions. In 2010, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (Natural Resources Conservation Service) identified Solomon's Seal as a Culturally Significant Plant, noting its medicinal and restorative value among North American Tribal (Original Nation) peoples. It is our understanding that the National Institutes of Health is presently researching the benefits of Solomon's Seal for heart health. Western documentation is largely anecdotal. Gardener's and nature lovers know the plant well, for it is easily identifiable and can be cultivated. Wellness practitioners using alternative healing methods are somewhat familiar with the plant and praise it; however, their number is still small and documentation is limited. Herbalists, chiropractors, among others are increasingly validating Solomon's Seal's effectiveness.

(stinking passion flower) is an exotic medicinal vine. The antibacterial properties of leaf and fruit (ethanol and acetone) extracts were screened against four human pathogenic bacteria i.e. Pseudomonas putida, Vibrio cholerae, Shigella flexneri and Streptococcus pyogenes by well-in agar method. The results showed the leaf extract having remarkable activity against all bacterial pathogens compared to fruits. This study supports, the traditional medicines (herbal extracts) to cure many diseases like diarrhea, intestinal tract, throat, ear infections, fever and skin diseases.

  • May 15, 2016 Passing Peony and Iris Plants on from Generation to Generation Annette Meyer Heisdorffer Daviess County Extension Agent for Horticulture
    May 15, 2016 Passing Peony and Iris Plants on from Generation to Generation Annette Meyer Heisdorffer Daviess County Extension Agent for Horticulture After lunch on Mother’s Day, my mom and I surveyed her garden, especially the peonies. We both agreed that I needed to propagate her peonies and plant them in my garden. These are special, because I remember them growing in my grandmother’s garden. Peonies are commonly passed down from generation to generation. My goal is to someday share them with my twins. Our discussion included the irises, which are another heritage plant. Both plants are blooming beautifully in May and are spectacular in the garden. Information about these two plants will be provided in this article. Peony (Paeonia officinalis, Paeonia lactiflora, and hybrids) is a herbaceous perennial, which means at the end of the growing season it will die back to the ground. However, the plant returns year after year. Peonies grow best in full sun and well-drained soil. There are tree peonies (Paeonia suffruticosa) which have a woody stem, but those are not as common and require different growing conditions. The tree peony will not be discussed here. According to Dr. Rick Durham, Extension Specialist for Consumer Horticulture, peonies can be found in landscapes across Kentucky. Peonies have a long life span and are commonly grown in the garden. When planting the root, make sure it is not too deep. The eyes or bud should be just below the surface of the soil. If it is planted too deeply, the plants won't bloom.
