2017 Native Plant & Seed Sale Expected Plant Availability 2017 Native Plant & Seed Sale Expected Plant Availability The plants in our sale are carefully nursery-propagated. None are collected from the wild. A large percentage are grown from seeds that are collected by Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art garden volunteers from the gardens surrounding the Brandywine River Museum of Art and from the Conservancy’s adjacent meadows here in Chadds Ford, PA. Packets of these seeds, hand-collected, cleaned and packaged by the garden volunteers, are available during the plant sale as well as year-round in the museum’s gift shop. Seed packets are $2 each and $5 for a set of any three packets. Sharp-eyed shoppers at our annual sale have learned that we customarily sell some plants as small communities of compatible species. This means that a pot with a large Foamflower may also contain a seedling Wild Columbine or Wild Geranium; a Brandywine Bluebell may include a Dutchman’s Breeches; a Showy Coneflower might contain a Dense Blazing Star and a Smooth Beardtongue. Customers pay for the primary plant, only. Such combinations can be separated and planted individually or planted as one and allowed to grow as a group. Nearly every batch of plants at our sale is presented with an informative sign, usually containing a color photo, to help you better understand where the plant will grow best and what it can be expected to look like after it has grown a bit in your garden. To help you remember that information after you get home, each plant has a label which includes the basic attributes specific to that plant: typical size, time and color of flower, its sun preference (full sun, part shade, shade) and soil moisture preference (wet, moist or dry) and, if there is room on the label, a comment regarding its value to birds, bees and butterflies. PLANT PRICES In 2017, our price structure stays the same as it was last year. Herbaceous plants (ferns, grasses, flowering perennials) are offered in a number of different pot sizes and typically range in price from $5 to $8 a pot. Woody plants (vines, shrubs, trees) are most commonly sold in one-, two- or three-gallon pots, with base prices typically at $19, $29 and $39, each. The following list represents the plants we expect to have available at this year’s event. As with every plant sale, there will be late-hour additions to the offerings and unfortunate crop failures. Plants marked with an asterisk tend, in our experience, to be less palatable to deer.

  • The Pennsylvania State University the Graduate School
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School Department of Horticulture NORTHEASTERN U.S. NATIVE AND NATURALIZED PLANT PERFORMANCE IN SHADED MICROCLIMATES ON GREEN ROOFS A Thesis in Horticulture by Peter Vanco 2015 Peter Vanco Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master’s of Science August 2015 The thesis of Peter Vanco was reviewed and approved* by the following: Robert D. Berghage Associate Professor of Horticulture Thesis Advisor Eric P. Burkhart Faculty Instructor, Ecosystem Science and Management Department and Plant Science Program Director, Shaver's Creek Environmental Center Elsa S. Sánchez Associate Professor of Horticultural Systems Management Rich P. Marini Professor of Horticulture Head of the Department of Horticulture *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT Being comprised of thin, porous, heat-retentive media, and being exposed to wind and sun, green roofs are typically hot and droughty. As such, green roofs are taxing environments for the plants which inhabit them. There exist, however, various microclimates on many roofs which may provide growing conditions different from those on a typical section of green roof. One category of such microclimates is shaded areas. The goal of this thesis was to explore the possibilities available in these areas to non- traditional green roof plant species. Fifteen species of plants, twelve of which are native to the Northeastern United States, were chosen to be grown in both shaded an non-shaded conditions on a green roof with two sections, one being nominally four inches, and one being nominally six inches thick. Four replicates were included in the resultant four treatment groups, with each plant being allotted a 75cm x 75cm area in which to grow for one year.

  • Floristic Quality Assessment Report
    FLORISTIC QUALITY ASSESSMENT IN INDIANA: THE CONCEPT, USE, AND DEVELOPMENT OF COEFFICIENTS OF CONSERVATISM Tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) the State tree of Indiana June 2004 Final Report for ARN A305-4-53 EPA Wetland Program Development Grant CD975586-01 Prepared by: Paul E. Rothrock, Ph.D. Taylor University Upland, IN 46989-1001 Introduction Since the early nineteenth century the Indiana landscape has undergone a massive transformation (Jackson 1997). In the pre-settlement period, Indiana was an almost unbroken blanket of forests, prairies, and wetlands. Much of the land was cleared, plowed, or drained for lumber, the raising of crops, and a range of urban and industrial activities. Indiana’s native biota is now restricted to relatively small and often isolated tracts across the State. This fragmentation and reduction of the State’s biological diversity has challenged Hoosiers to look carefully at how to monitor further changes within our remnant natural communities and how to effectively conserve and even restore many of these valuable places within our State. To meet this monitoring, conservation, and restoration challenge, one needs to develop a variety of appropriate analytical tools. Ideally these techniques should be simple to learn and apply, give consistent results between different observers, and be repeatable. Floristic Assessment, which includes metrics such as the Floristic Quality Index (FQI) and Mean C values, has gained wide acceptance among environmental scientists and decision-makers, land stewards, and restoration ecologists in Indiana’s neighboring states and regions: Illinois (Taft et al. 1997), Michigan (Herman et al. 1996), Missouri (Ladd 1996), and Wisconsin (Bernthal 2003) as well as northern Ohio (Andreas 1993) and southern Ontario (Oldham et al.

There are many reasons for including native plants in your landscape. Native plants are specifically adapted to our climate and pests and once established require little to no care if they are planted in a suitable habitat. These plant species have relationships with other species that live in your area; many plants are larval hosts to butterflies and provide food and shelter for other important animals. Native plants make for a beautifully colorful and environmentally friendly garden that allows individuals to help maintain Ontario’s exceptional biodiversity.

No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or database, or transmitted in any form or by any means, including photocopying, without written permission of the authors. Produced with financial assistance from The Couchiching Conservancy. The City of Kawartha Lakes Flora Project is sponsored by the Kawartha Field Naturalists based in Fenelon Falls, Ontario. In 2008, information about plants in CKL was scattered and scarce. At the urging of Michael Oldham, Biologist at the Natural Heritage Information Centre at the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, Dale Leadbeater and Anne Barbour formed a committee with goals to: • Generate a list of species found in CKL and their distribution, vouchered by specimens to be housed at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, making them available for future study by the scientific community; • Improve understanding of natural heritage systems in the CKL; • Provide insight into changes in the local plant communities as a result of pressures from introduced species, climate change and population growth; and, • Publish the findings of the project . Over eight years, more than 200 volunteers and landowners collected almost 2000 voucher specimens, with the permission of landowners. Over 10,000 observations and literature records have been databased. The project has documented 150 new species of which 60 are introduced, 90 are native and one species that had never been reported in Ontario to date.

    Native Herbaceous Plants of South Central Pennsylvania The plants on this list have been compiled by Cumberland County Master Gardener Susan Skender and identified as native to south central Pennsylvania. Note that some may have been introduced so long ago that no one knows when they arrived. This list concentrates on Cumberland, Adams, Franklin, Perry, York and Dauphin counties. These plants have been selected because they are often (or sometimes) available from local retail stores. If you cannot locate a plant you'd like to try, ask your favorite garden center if it can order it for you. This is by no means a comprehensive list. It endeavors to list plants that are showy and suitable for the home landscape. If only one county is not listed for a designated plant, it is probably native to that county as well but has not been documented. On the other hand, if only one county is listed, the plant may have been introduced. Plants marked with an asterisk (*) means they are listed in Allan Armitage's book on native plants as "garden-worthy."

  • Potentilla Using DNA Sequences of Nuclear Ribosomal Internal Transcribed Spacers (ITS), and Implications for the Classification of Rosoideae (Rosaceae)
    --Plant Pl. Syst. Evol. 211:155-179 (1998) Systematics and Evolution © Springer-Verlag 1998 Printed in Austria Phylogenetic analysis of Potentilla using DNA sequences of nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacers (ITS), and implications for the classification of Rosoideae (Rosaceae) TORSTEN ERIKSSON, MICHAEL J. DONOOHUE, and MALIN S. HIBBS Received December 17, 1996; in revised version March 18, 1997 Key words: Rosaceae, Rosoideae, PotentilIa, Fragaria, Duchesnea. - Phylogeny, classification, phylogenetic nomenclature, ribosomal DNA, ITS. Abstract: The circumscription of Potentilla has varied widely. To investigate the monophyly of Potentilla and the phylogenetic relationships of associated genera we used nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) DNA sequences. Fourteen species of Potentilla (sensu WOLF 1908) were included, some of which represent proposed segregate genera (such as Argentina, Comarum, Drymocallis, Duchesnea, Pentaphylloides, and Sibbaldiopsis), and 17 other genera of Rosoideae, using Prunus as outgroup. Out most parsimonious tree strongly implies that Potentilla is not monophyletic. Forcing the monophyly of Potentilla yields distinctly longer trees. Several morphological features appear to have evolved several times independently, including the swollen receptacle ("strawberry") and temate leaves. In order to minimise nomenclatural change and to name only well supported clades, Potentilla should be split into several genera, while other previously recognised genera such as Duchesnea, Horkelia, and Ivesia are best included in Potentilla. We suggest, however, that a phylogenetic nomenclature (sensu DE QuEraoz & GAUTHIEU 1994) might be a better solution. Potentilla L. is a rather large genus (c. 200-500 species) of herbaceous or some- what woody perennials distributed mainly in the Northern Hemisphere. Species diversity is highest in northern Eurasia.
