Heuchera ‘Plum Royale’ Goes Another Step in the Way of a Year-Round Metallic Purple Stunner The 60’s were not only a period of political upheaval, they were also a period of explosive creativity. We dedicate this CATALOG CREDITS catalog to the creative souls in the world who bring us beauty Nomenclature - 2007 RHS Plant Finder Photography - Janet Egger, Dave Doolittle, Dan Heims and inspiration through horticulture. The plants we offer are the Catalog Design - Josh Blair wonderful creations of our own capable breeding team as well as those of you who have created or found a “far-out” sport in the greenhouse. It is amazing to watch our team at work! Sometimes it’s an excited person in the lab holding up a test tube of a plant that’s never been in tissue culture before, and many times it is the shock and awe of seeing a color of leaf or flower that has never existed before! In that vein, we are proud to offer some new and amazing plants: Echinaceas like ‘Mac and Cheese’ and ‘Tomato Soup’ are brilliant rich tones that don’t fade quickly. Echinacea ‘Pink Poodle’ carries huge, fluffy heads above strong stems. Three new Agastache bloom in dense spikes, with rich colors, and strong form. Grow our plants next to the competition and you’ll see what we mean. Campanula ‘Jelly Bells’ produces glossy, cobalt-blue bells that are good enough to eat and Heuchera ‘Plum Royale’ goes another step in the way of a year-round metallic purple stunner. We have a new, larger, stronger, variegated Tiarella called ‘Mystic Mist’ and another Heucherella, called ‘Tapestry’, with leaves a lush fabric of silver, green, and purple. As usual, I am flitting around the world looking for anything new and exciting as well as observing and ‘dreaming’ for our breeders (who seem to be in overdrive this year!) Ken and crew are off to far corners of the world, cementing our laboratory links. Did you know that we send our laboratory technicians to labs around the world to assure that our plants are grown and cultured correctly? We do, and that’s how we maintain quality and good flow of material. We’ve also heard great comments from our customers this year on the quality of our finished plants. This credit goes to our great shipping and production crew and managers. Go team! We test our plants in sun and shade. We place them with garden writers and a few select designers. You will also find our plants at a number of botanical gardens. Feedback from these sources helps us find hardiness and performance infor- mation. We also invite you to visit our garden if you are in the Northwest (home of Louie, Louie and grunge-rock). You will definitely get a feeling as to how large our mature plants get as well as seeing some groovy combinations. Peace, Love, Perennials! Top 5 Must Have NEW Varieties A B C D E A.

    Contribuţii Botanice – 2013, XLVIII: 27-37 Grădina Botanică “Alexandru Borza” Cluj-Napoca THE PRESENCE OF VERONICA SPECIES IN DIFFERENT NATURA 2000 HABITAT TYPES IN ROMANIA Silvia OROIAN,1 Mihaela SĂMĂRGHIŢAN2 1 University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Târgu-Mureş, Faculty of Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Botany and Cell Biology Department, 38 Gh. Marinescu Street, RO-540139 Târgu-Mureş, Romania 2 Mureş County Museum, Natural Science Department, 24 Horea Street, RO-540036 Târgu-Mureş, Romania e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: A principal objective of this study was to summarise the distribution of Veronica species in Romania, where such an inventory has not existed before. Taxa of Veronica genus were identified in 311 plant associations and 36 subassociations framed in 132 alliances. Of the 311 plant associations, 138 are included in various types of NATURA 2000 Habitats. The review of phytosociological data reveals the presence of Veronica taxa in 42 types of Natura 2000 habitats with scientific significance. Some of these Veronica taxa are characteristic species for alliances (i.e. Veronicion baumgartenii Coldea 1991, Veronico officinalis-Quercion Pop 1971) or differential species at plant association level (Veronico baumgartenii-Saxifragetum bryoidis Boşcaiu et al. 1977). Keywords: Veronica genus, Natura 2000 habitats, plant associations Introduction Veronica is considered among the richest genera of the vascular flora of Romania as well as of other European countries. As regards their systematic position, Veronica species were included until recently in the Scrophularioideae (Antirrhinoideae) subfamily, Scrophulariaceae family, Scrophulariales order, Asterideae subclass, Magnoliopsida class [7]. Because there are several classification systems for this genus, here we mention three of them, which we consider most recent.

Our work is focused both in the internal relationships among representatives of Omphalodes main subgroups (and including Omphalodes verna, the type species), and their relationships with other Cynoglosseae genera that have been related to the Omphalodes group. Our phylogenetic analysis of ITS and trnL-trnF molecular markers establish close relationships of the American Omphalodes with the genus Mimophytum, and also with Cynoglossum paniculatum and Myosotidium hortensia. The southwestern European annual Omphalodes species form a discrete group deserving taxonomic recognition. We describe two new genera to reduce the paraphyly in the genus Omphalodes, accommodating the European annual species in Iberodes and Cynoglossum paniculatum in Mapuchea. The pollen of the former taxon is described in detail for the first time.

  • Eucomis Bicolor Baker) an Ornamental and Medicinal Plant
    Available online at www.worldscientificnews.com WSN 110 (2018) 159-171 EISSN 2392-2192 Chitosan improves growth and bulb yield of pineapple lily (Eucomis bicolor Baker) an ornamental and medicinal plant Andżelika Byczyńska Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Environmental Management and Agriculture, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin, Poland E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT The wide demand for natural biostimulants encourages the search for new, alternative sources of substances with high biological activity. Chitosan can promote plant growth and root system development, enhance photosynthetic activity, increase nutrient and metabolite content. Eucomis bicolor, commonly known as the ‘pineapple lily’, is not widely known in terms of cultivation and biological activity. The aim of the experiment was to determine the effect of chitosan on growth of Eucomis bicolor. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to describe the effect of chitosan on morphological features of Eucomis bicolor. The results showed that soaking Eucomis bicolor bulbs in a chitosan solution before planting has stimulated the growth, flowering and yield of bulbs. Treating the plants with chitosan at 50 mg/L had the most beneficial effect on the number of leaves per plant, the relative chlorophyll content in the leaves as well as the number of bulbs per plant. Chitosan has a multi-directional, positive effect on plant growth and can be used as a potential biostimulant.

  • Landscaping with Perennials
    Visit us on the Web: www.gardeninghelp.org Landscaping with Perennials The term “perennial” generally speaking, refers to a type of plant that once planted, will live for many years. This broad definition covers bulbs, woody trees and shrubs, cacti, succulents, grasses, ferns, some herbs, and many groundcovers. The popular gardening definition of a perennial, however, refers to those plants which are non-woody, have a root system that lives through the winter from which leaves emerge in the spring and die back to the ground in the fall. Plants of this type are more specifically called herbaceous perennials. The popularity of herbaceous perennials has risen in recent times because they offer a wide variety of forms and sizes, colors and textures and are relatively long-lived. Of particular significance is the fact that they generally fall into the low to moderate maintenance category which many gardeners today value due to limited resources and time. There are hundreds of perennials to choose from and they offer the gardener a good deal of versatility for all areas of the landscape. You can select plants which grow well in wet and dry sites; full sun to shade; deep, fertile to shallow, poor soils. Additionally, many will solve the problems of difficult-to-manage areas like steep embankments, hillsides and rocky sites. History of Perennials The first and most popular period for growing herbaceous perennials was in the later part of the 1800s and early 1900s. At this time, perennials were being used in Europe as border plants outlining naturalized woodland garden areas.
