  • Coastal Landscaping in Massachusetts Plant List
    Coastal Landscaping in Massachusetts Plant List This PDF document provides additional information to supplement the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) Coastal Landscaping website. The plants listed below are good choices for the rugged coastal conditions of Massachusetts. The Coastal Beach Plant List, Coastal Dune Plant List, and Coastal Bank Plant List give recommended species for each specified location (some species overlap because they thrive in various conditions). Photos and descriptions of selected species can be found on the following pages: • Grasses and Perennials • Shrubs and Groundcovers • Trees CZM recommends using native plants wherever possible. The vast majority of the plants listed below are native (which, for purposes of this fact sheet, means they occur naturally in eastern Massachusetts). Certain non-native species with specific coastal landscaping advantages that are not known to be invasive have also been listed. These plants are labeled “not native,” and their state or country of origin is provided. (See definitions for native plant species and non-native plant species at the end of this fact sheet.) Coastal Beach Plant List Plant List for Sheltered Intertidal Areas Sheltered intertidal areas (between the low-tide and high-tide line) of beach, marsh, and even rocky environments are home to particular plant species that can tolerate extreme fluctuations in water, salinity, and temperature. The following plants are appropriate for these conditions along the Massachusetts coast. Black Grass (Juncus gerardii) native Marsh Elder (Iva frutescens) native Saltmarsh Cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) native Saltmeadow Cordgrass (Spartina patens) native Sea Lavender (Limonium carolinianum or nashii) native Spike Grass (Distichlis spicata) native Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) native Plant List for a Dry Beach Dry beach areas are home to plants that can tolerate wind, wind-blown sand, salt spray, and regular interaction with waves and flood waters.

  • Black-Eyed Susan - Rudbeckia Fulgida Var
    Black-eyed Susan - Rudbeckia fulgida var. sullivantii ‘Goldsturm’ A favorite summertime flower, the Black-eyed Susan, with its bright, golden-yellow flowers, produces a ‘gold storm’ of blooms in gardens everywhere. Selected by the Perennial Plant Association as the 1999 Perennial of the Year, this rudbeckia has been acclaimed internationally as one of the most popular perennials for the past fifty years. produces masses of golden color all summer long. It can be one of the most important flowers in the perennial garden. A member of the huge aster or composite family, they typically stay in a basil rosette their first year. Then during the second year produce upright, branching stems with orange-gold flowers. The rough- textured leaves are diamond shaped, and the plant produces erect, bristly stems about thirty-six inches tall. It’s significant compact habit produces long-blooming flowers, and is low maintenance. This spectacular perennial tolerates poor clay soils and mild droughts, but grows best in well- drained and moist soil with regular watering. However, it will not tolerate soggy soils. It is a rhizomatous perennial (spreads by rhizomes, making large clumps) with crowded, branching stems. ‘Goldsturm’ performs as well in the high heat and humidity of Houston, as well as tolerate the arid, cold winters of Amarillo. This Black-eyed Susan is at home in the naturalized, semi-wild garden, used as a border, or even a non-invasive ground cover with full sun to light shade. Plants have minimal blooms the first season unless they undergo cold treatment (vernalization). The long, strong stems make this orange coneflower ideal for cutting.

In tracking populations of plant species of conservation concern (Missouri Natural Heritage Program, 2007), there are sometimes also boom years in the number of reports of new populations. Because of reports of five new populations and a surge in numbers of plants at some previously-known sites, 2007 provided encouraging news for the conservation of the auriculate false foxglove [Agalinis auriculata (Michx.)

    Rudbeckia fulgida (Orange Coneflower) Botanical Bytes by Bruner By Gregory Bruner Foliage Height: 18-36” Foliage Width: 18-36” Flower Height: 24-36” Foliage Color: Green Flower Color: Yellow USDA Hardiness: 3-8 Moisture: Average Light: Full Sun – Part Sun Rudbeckia fulgida is native to most of the Eastern United States. Cold hardiness is not an issue with this leafy family member, allowing it to be happy down to zone 3. The small rosette of leaves is evergreen but not showy enough to make much of a display during the winter. This species of Rudbeckia is named for Olof Rudbeck the Elder, a Swedish botanist from the 17th century. If we translate fulgida from Latin, it means shining, gleaming, or glittering. These are wonderful adjectives to describe the glowing show of the flowers, which starts mid summer and lasts through fall. Because the Rudbeckia family has many visually similar members, common names can get a bit confusing. Rudbeckia fulgida is often called Black-eyed Susan like its cousin Rudbeckia hirta, but Orange Coneflower is a better description because its yellow flower petals have a bit more orange in them than hirta’s. This member of the Rudbeckia family is very adaptable, allowing it to tolerate a wide range of soil types. The masses of glowing Rudbeckia seen around town and in yards are usually the cultivar “Goldsturm”. Goldsturm was named perennial of the year in 1999 and since then has proven itself to be a garden mainstay. It thrives in well-drained average garden situations that possess partial to full sun conditions.
