    05 in the front line 21-09-2010 11:36 am Page 1 In the front line Judy Harry Plants that grow in the front line perform many functions. They have to provide the first line of defence against careless invasions by mowers, feet, even livestock (fig. 1) They form at one and the same time the start and the finish of the border, leading the eye to statuesque and imposing plants at the rear, or allowing the eye to come to a comfortable stop at the front. Which all sounds rather prosaic, not to say functional. One of the pleasures of last year’s gardening for me was being able to see some of my ‘front liners’ with fresh eyes, not just as the useful plants they undoubtedly are, but also as the star performers they can be in their own right. It all started with the flowering of Jovellana violacea (fig. 2). Having bought it as a very small plant on the 2002 Autumn Weekend, I planted it where I could keep an eye on it. Each spring, in my ignorance, I cut it back to tidy it up, assuming that it would produce flowers later in the summer: exactly the wrong thing to do. This interesting little shrublet flowers on the previous year’s wood in early summer, and Addison © Twink with time will form a thicket of upright stems, bearing pale, whitish-mauve pouched flowers with spotted throats. My poor plant, of course, never had mature enough stems to produce so much as a spot, let alone whole pouches.

  • Native Herbaceous Perennials and Ferns for Shade Gardens
    Green Spring Gardens 4603 Green Spring Rd ● Alexandria ● VA 22312 Phone: 703-642-5173 ● TTY: 703-803-3354 www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/greenspring NATIVE HERBACEOUS PERENNIALS AND FERNS FOR � SHADE GARDENS IN THE WASHINGTON, D.C. AREA � Native plants are species that existed in Virginia before Jamestown, Virginia was founded in 1607. They are uniquely adapted to local conditions. Native plants provide food and shelter for a myriad of birds, butterflies, and other wildlife. Best of all, gardeners can feel the satisfaction of preserving a part of our natural heritage while enjoying the beauty of native plants in the garden. Hardy herbaceous perennials form little or no woody tissue and live for several years. Some of these plants are short-lived and may live only three years, such as wild columbine, while others can live for decades. They are a group of plants that gardeners are very passionate about because of their lovely foliage and flowers, as well as their wide variety of textures, forms, and heights. Most of these plants are deciduous and die back to the ground in the winter. Ferns, in contrast, have no flowers but grace our gardens with their beautiful foliage. Herbaceous perennials and ferns are a joy to garden with because they are easily moved to create new design combinations and provide an ever-changing scene in the garden. They are appropriate for a wide range of shade gardens, from more formal gardens to naturalistic woodland gardens. The following are useful definitions: Cultivar (cv.) – a cultivated variety designated by single quotes, such as ‘Autumn Bride’.

    Pelargonium grossularioides | Plantz Africa about:reader?url=http://pza.sanbi.org/pelargonium-grossularioides pza.sanbi.org Pelargonium grossularioides | Plantz Africa Introduction If you delight in tiny flowers then the gooseberry-leaved pelargonium is a plant you will enjoy! Description Description This is a very low-growing ground cover which flowers almost all year round and has stems which may grow as long as 0.5 m. The furrowed, angular stems tend to have internodes, which are generally in shades of pale to deep reddish in colour. The outline of the long-stalked leaves is rounded to kidney-shaped, with the basal leaves being larger than those towards the ends of the stems. They are incised into 3-5 lobes and vary in size from 10-40 x 10-60 mm. Leaves often have a reddish outline and older leaves are sometimes richly coloured in shades of red. The more or less hairy stems and leaves are aromatic. Flowers are small (less than 10 mm across) and vary from pale pink to a beetroot purple in colour. The occasional whitish flower is found. The compact, umbel-like flowerheads may have from 3 to 50 flowers on each one. This herb is a quick growing plant which usually only lasts about a year. 1 of 4 2016/12/15 12:19 PM Pelargonium grossularioides | Plantz Africa about:reader?url=http://pza.sanbi.org/pelargonium-grossularioides Distribution and habitat Distribution description Pelargonium grossularioides has a fairly wide distribution, occurring from the southwestern Cape, northeastward up into Mozambique , mainly along the coastal belt but also to an extent further inland.

  • The Geranium Family, Geraniaceae, and the Mallow Family, Malvaceae
    THE GERANIUM FAMILY, GERANIACEAE, AND THE MALLOW FAMILY, MALVACEAE TWO SOMETIMES CONFUSED FAMILIES PROMINENT IN SOME MEDITERRANEAN CLIMATE AREAS The Geraniaceae is a family of herbaceous plants or small shrubs, sometimes with succulent stems • The family is noted for its often palmately veined and lobed leaves, although some also have pinnately divided leaves • The leaves all have pairs of stipules at their base • The flowers may be regular and symmetrical or somewhat irregular • The floral plan is 5 separate sepals and petals, 5 or 10 stamens, and a superior ovary • The most distinctive feature is the beak of fused styles on top of the ovary Here you see a typical geranium flower This nonnative weedy geranium shows the styles forming a beak The geranium family is also noted for its seed dispersal • The styles either actively eject the seeds from each compartment of the ovary or… • They twist and embed themselves in clothing and fur to hitch a ride • The Geraniaceae is prominent in the Mediterranean Basin and the Cape Province of South Africa • It is also found in California but few species here are drought tolerant • California does have several introduced weedy members Here you see a geranium flinging the seeds from sections of the ovary when the styles curl up Three genera typify the Geraniaceae: Erodium, Geranium, and Pelargonium • Erodiums (common name filaree or clocks) typically have pinnately veined, sometimes dissected leaves; many species are weeds in California • Geraniums (that is, the true geraniums) typically have palmately veined leaves and perfectly symmetrical flowers. Most are herbaceous annuals or perennials • Pelargoniums (the so-called garden geraniums or storksbills) have asymmetrical flowers and range from perennials to succulents to shrubs The weedy filaree, Erodium cicutarium, produces small pink-purple flowers in California’s spring grasslands Here are the beaked unripe fruits of filaree Many of the perennial erodiums from the Mediterranean make well-behaved ground covers for California gardens Here are the flowers of the charming E.

    Indian Journal of Traditional Knowledge Vol. 14(4), October 2015, pp. 558-563 An overview on phytopharmacology of Pelargonium graveolens L. Jinous Asgarpanah1,2* & Fereshteh Ramezanloo2 1Young Researchers and Elite Club, Pharmaceutical Sciences Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran 2Department of Pharmacognosy, Pharmaceutical Sciences Branch, Islamic Azad University (IAU), Tehran, Iran E-mail: [email protected] [email protected] Received 30 October 2014, revised 12 August 2015 Since ancient, Pelargonium graveolens L. is well organized for its therapeutic values. Only recently, its new medicinal aspects have been award by scientists. Regarding new multi-functional properties of P. graveolens and valuable ongoing reports we were prompted to update phytochemistry and pharmacology of it. Data were collected using of journals, articles, scientific books and websites such as Scopus and PubMed. P. graveolens extracts and essential oil are important in drug development with many pharmacologic properties in China and Middle East especially in Egypt and Morocco. P. graveolens has been used in traditional medicine for the relief of hemorrhoids, dysentery, inflammation and cancer, as well as in the perfumery, cosmetic and aromatherapy industries all over the world. P. graveolens has recently been shown to have antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal activities and acaricidal effects. The valuable therapeutic aspects of P. graveolens are mostly correlated to the existence of volatile constituents, terpenoids and flavonoids. Due to being widespread and the easy collection of this plant and also remarkable biological activities and containing a high amount of essential oil, this plant has become a medicinal plant in pharmacy especially in aromatherapy. This overview presents comprehensive analyzed information on the phytochemical and clinical properties of P.

  • Northstar Fire Department, Fire Resistant Landscaping Plant List
    Northstar Fire Department, Fire Resistant Landscaping Plant List Many common plants naturally resist fire and can even slow its spread. In general, irrigated and well maintained leafy plants burn slowly. By replacing highly flammable vegetation with these fire resistant recommended species, you can significantly improve the statistical survivability of your home when a wildfire threatens. Courtesy of the “Villager Nursery” in Truckee, this list of fire resistive plants should be considered when enhancing or adding landscape. Here are some other key components to remember when selecting appropriate fire resistant landscaping plants. Choose plants that don’t produce much litter such as dead branches and twigs Plants that produce oils, resins or waxes should be avoided When planting from the approved list, appropriately space plants to prevent fire spread Never plant under conifer trees, this can create a ladder effect which allows smaller ground fires the ability to transfer into larger trees creating crown fires To help ensure their fire resistance, plants must be maintained, watered, and pruned. Routine care will provide you with an attractive defensible space landscape and help ensure the survival of your property in the event of a wildfire. Northstar Fire Department enforces both State and District fire codes that may directly affect your landscape. Northstar Fire Department recommends that prior to changing your landscape you consult with us in order to make sure your property will be compliant with applicable fire codes. Trees Common Name Scientific Name Please note that there Apple Malus spp. may be other vegetative Bigtooth Maple Acer grandidentatum species that are Cherry Prunus spp.

  • Verbascum Thapsus By: Dave Long, UCCE Master Gardener of Lake Tahoe
    UCCE Master Gardeners of Lake Tahoe (Invasive) Tahoe Plants and Trees Wooley Mullein – Verbascum Thapsus By: Dave Long, UCCE Master Gardener of Lake Tahoe The Wooley or Common Mullein is one of those plants that looks like it belongs here in the Tahoe Basin but is in reality not a native plant, originating in Eurasia. It is considered a noxious weed in some states and an invasive weed having a limited environmental impact statewide in California. The plant is fairly common in disturbed areas, especially dry gravelly areas next to water channels and soil benches of braided streams. Mullein is also found along roadsides and in reclamation areas. The Common Mullein is a member of the figwort family (Scrophulariaceae) that also includes our many types of native Indian paintbrush (Castilleja spp.) and the non-native garden snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus). The plant is an annual, biennial or short lived perennial (depending on environmental conditions) that during the first year (or 2) maintains a compact basal rosette of wooly, grey green oblong-obovate leaves, that may be up to 10 inches in length. During the second (occasionally 3rd) year a central flower stalk forms with leaves of decreasing size along the lower portion of the flower stalk. Under favorable conditions the flower stock may reach 5 foot or more in height. Cold and numerous freeze thaw cycles have little effect on the appearance of the leaved basal rosette, which is one of the first plants to emerge from winter dormancy. The flower stalk may remain erect, though dry and dead for a season or more.
