  • The Peony Group Newsletter Autumn 2015
    The Peony Group of the Hardy Plant Society Newsletter Autumn 2015 !1 Paeonia decomposita Paeonia peregrina Paeonia tenuifolia In Tom Mitchell’s poly tunnel !2 Editorial John Hudson In this issue we have, as well as reports from the of5icers and an account of the 2015 Peony Day, two welcome articles from new members. Sue Hough and Sue Lander are both active in the Ranunculaceae group of the HPS. There is quite a strong common membership with our group; several of us attended both group meetings, which were on successive days, this year. The peonies were in the Ranunculaceae once (indeed, still are in one well-known catalogue) : to many of us peonies looK more liKe hellebores than aquilegias do. Sue Hough's article also promoted interest in the P. obovata group as the succeeding article shows. We also have the latest of Judy Templar's reports on peonies in the wild. At the other end of the peony spectrum, Itoh hybrids are becoming well Known, as many of us saw on the Peony Day and as we shall see at Claire Austin's nursery in 2016. Irene Tibbenham drew my attention to the promotion of a new race of "Patio Peonies" for growing in pots in small gardens; see https://www.rhs.org.uK/plants/plants-blogs/plants/november-2014/patio-peonies. It remains to be seen if these catch on. They are unliKely to usurp the place of Lacti5lora peonies, those most sumptuous of early summer 5lowers, which are the theme of our next Peony Day. ThanKs to Sandra Hartley for her account of this year’s peony day.

Perennial black-eyed susan, hyssop, culver’s root and pink phlox in northern Michigan Sunlight. Full Sun: 6 or more hours of direct sun. Part Sun: 4 to 5 hours of direct sun. Part Shade: 3 to 4 hours of sun, but not the most intense afternoon sun. Full Shade: Less than three hours of sun, but not cave- like conditions. All plants require some sunlight for photosynthesis. Ephemerals can handle quite a bit of shade - as long as the shade is caused by deciduous trees Regional adjustments. ‘Standard’ tags are manufactured for plants sold in a wide range of zones.

SPIRIDOVICH1 1 The Central Botanical Gardens of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Minsk, Belarus 2 Matthaei Botanical Garden and Nichols Arboretum of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA 3 Department of Statistics of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA Introduction Paeonia L. (family Paeoniaceae) comprises about 35 species of shrubs and perennial herbs distributed widely in the northern hemisphere [20, 26, 29]. The genus possesses great ornamental and medicinal value, which is a reason for its extensive culture, breeding and wide representation in botanical garden collections. Section Paeonia has the most taxa (about 27 herbaceous taxa, including P. lactiflora Pall.) and the most diverse geographic range (from East and Central Asia, the Western Himalayas to the European Mediterranean region). This section has about 1/3 rare to endemic species as well as evidence of complex reticulated evolution that results in incompletely-understood phylogenetic relationships between species [27]. Contemporary cultivated herbaceous peonies mainly belong to P. lactiflora, although there is a great diversity of interspecific and intersectional hybrids. Over 3,000 cultivars have been introduced or bred outside of Eastern Asia since 1820s, half of which are presumed extinct [D. Michener, communication from R. Jakubowoski – ICRA Registrar, unpublished]. Many points of the origin and phylogenetic relationships among P.

    RESEARCH REPORT Echinacea FOR THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION Sam Hoadley, Manager of Horticultural Research INTRODUCTION Skipper butterfly feeding on Echinacea ‘Glowing Dream’ 2 ECHINACEA FOR THE MID-ATLANTIC ECHINACEA, COMMONLY KNOWN AS CONEFLOWERS, are among the most iconic and recognizable native plants in North America. The earliest documented horticultural use of Echinacea can be traced to the late 17th century when Echinacea purpurea seeds were sent to England by the Virginia clergyman and naturalist John Banister. Medicinal use dates back even further as Native Americans used Echinacea to treat a variety of ailments, a tradition that has carried into modern times. Echinacea has enjoyed continued popularity for treating colds and for boosting the immune system. Although there is little scientific evidence of its benefits, Echinacea is currently one of the most popular commercially traded herbal supplements. The nine species of Echinacea are North American natives and predominantly occur in the central and eastern United States. The majority of wild coneflowers display pink, purple, and rarely white flowers from late spring to summer. Only one species, Echinacea paradoxa, breaks this color trend and produces canary yellow blooms in June. Dr. Jim Ault of the Chicago Botanic Garden was among the first plant breeders to intentionally cross multiple species in the 1990s. Since that time, the breeding and selection of coneflower species has further unlocked the horticultural potential of this genus resulting in a staggering variety of new cultivars in American and European horticultural markets. Today, Echinacea are available in an array of colors including, white, yellow, orange, red, pink, purple, and even green.
