Deer will eat ANYTHING if they are hungry enough. Also, plants left untouched in one area may be a favorite in another. Nevertheless, the following list is a compilation of native plant species taken from a combination of staff observation over a period of years and several existing lists of “deerproof plants”. Check the companion list for plants that deer generally prefer. Herbaceous plants : Aconitum uncinatum (monkshood) Phlox stolonifera (creeping phlox) Actaea spp. (doll’s eyes) Physostegia virginiana (obedient plant) Agastache scrophulariifolia (giant purple hyssop) *Podophyllum peltatum (may-apple) Agrimonia parviflora (small agrimony) Polemonium reptans (Jacob’s-ladder) Allium cernuum/A. tricoccum (wild onion/leek) Rudbeckia fulgida/R. hirta (black-eyed Susan) Amsonia hubrectii+/tabernaemontana (blue star) Scutellaria incana (skullcap) Andropogon gerardii (big bluestem) Solidago spp. (goldenrods) Aquilegia canadensis (wild columbine) Symplocarpus foetidus (skunk-cabbage) Arisaema spp. (Jack-in-the-pulpit) Verbena hastata (blue vervain) Aruncus dioicus (goat’s beard) Veronicastrum virginicum (Culver’s-root) *Asarum canadense (wild ginger) Trees and Shrubs Asclepias spp. (butterflyweed, milkweed) Acer spp. (maple) *Aster novae-angliae (New England aster) Amelanchier spp. (service berry) Aster oblongifolius (aromatic aster) Betula spp. (birch) Baptisia australis (blue false indigo) Calycanthus floridus (Carolina allspice) Cimicifuga racemosa (black cohosh) Carpinus spp. (hornbeam) *Clematis virginiana (Virgin’s-bower) Clethra alnifolia (summersweet) Coreopsis lanceolata +/C. tripteris (tickseed) Dirca palustris (leatherwood) Coreopsis rosea (rose coreopsis) Fagus spp. (beech) Dicentra eximia (fringed bleeding-heart) Fraxinus spp. (ash) Euphorbia corollata (flowering spurge) Gleditsia triacanthos (honeylocust) Fern species Hamamelis spp. (witchhazel) Geranium maculatum (wood geranium) Hypericum prolificum (Shrubby St. John’s-wort) Helenium autumnale (Helen’s flower) Hypericum pyramidatum (Great St. John’s-wort) Hibiscus moscheutos (swamp rose-mallow) Leucothoe racemosa (fetterbush) Iris versicolor (blue flag iris) Lindera benzoin (spicebush) Jeffersonia diphylla (twin-leaf) Liquidambar styraciflua (sweet gum) Liatris spicata (dense blazing star) Lonicera sempervirens (trumpet honeysuckle) *Lobelia siphilitica (great blue lobelia) *Magnolia spp. Mimulus ringens/M. alatus (monkey flower) Myrica pensylvanica (bayberry) Monarda fistulosa (wild bergamot) Nyssa sylvatica (sourgum) Panicum virgatum (switch grass) Quercus spp. (oak) - acorns attract deer, however Penstemon digitalis/P. hirsutus (beardtongue) Viburnum spp. Phlox divaricata (blue wood phlox) + = Not native to Pennsylvania *=Plants periodically browsed at Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve Copyright 2002 All Rights Reserved.

  • Black Cohosh & Endangered Species Actaea Racemosa L
    Natural Heritage Black Cohosh & Endangered Species Actaea racemosa L. Program State Status: Endangered www.mass.gov/nhesp Federal Status: None Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife DESCRIPTION: Black Cohosh (Actaea racemosa, formerly Cimicifuga racemosa) is a striking herbaceous perennial plant of the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae), with alternate, compound leaves and four to nine malodorous, wand-like, white inflorescences. Though indigenous to rich woodlands, Black Cohosh is also a common garden and herbal medicinal plant, and goes by the other common names Black Snakeroot, Squawroot, and Bugbane. AIDS TO IDENTIFICATION: The leaves of Black Cohosh are 15 to 60 cm (~6–23 in.) in length, smooth, and two to three times “ternately” (i.e., divided in three) compound, with 20 to 70 toothed leaflets. The flowering stem can be quite tall, reaching up to 2.5 m (~8 ft.) in height; it is branched, with several racemes of fetid, white flowers. Individual flowers appear as a mass of stamens with white filaments 5 to 10 mm long, topped by rounded anthers. The fruit is a thick-walled follicle, 5 to 10 mm in size. SIMILAR SPECIES: The leaves of Black Cohosh resemble those of Red Baneberry (Actaea rubra), and White Baneberry (Actaea pachypoda). Like Black Cohosh, baneberries are known from rich woodlands and have compound leaves with toothed leaflets, but they are typically much smaller plants. The most distinguishing characters are the inflorescence and the fruit; in baneberries, the inflorescence is an unbranched raceme, and the fruit are berries, not follicles. HABITAT: In Massachusetts, Black Cohosh inhabits very rich deciduous forests typically with moist alkaline soils.

  • Chapter Four: Landscaping with Native Plants a Gardener’S Guide for Missouri Landscaping with Native Plants a Gardener’S Guide for Missouri
    Chapter Four: Landscaping with Native Plants A Gardener’s Guide for Missouri Landscaping with Native Plants A Gardener’s Guide for Missouri Introduction Gardening with native plants is becoming the norm rather than the exception in Missouri. The benefits of native landscaping are fueling a gardening movement that says “no” to pesticides and fertilizers and “yes” to biodiversity and creating more sustainable landscapes. Novice and professional gardeners are turning to native landscaping to reduce mainte- nance and promote plant and wildlife conservation. This manual will show you how to use native plants to cre- ate and maintain diverse and beauti- ful spaces. It describes new ways to garden lightly on the earth. Chapter Four: Landscaping with Native Plants provides tools garden- ers need to create and maintain suc- cessful native plant gardens. The information included here provides practical tips and details to ensure successful low-maintenance land- scapes. The previous three chap- ters include Reconstructing Tallgrass Prairies, Rain Gardening, and Native landscapes in the Whitmire Wildflower Garden, Shaw Nature Reserve. Control and Identification of Invasive Species. use of native plants in residential gar- den design, farming, parks, roadsides, and prairie restoration. Miller called his History of Native work “The Prairie Spirit in Landscape Landscaping Design”. One of the earliest practitioners of An early proponent of native landscap- Miller’s ideas was Ossian C. Simonds, ing was Wilhelm Miller who was a landscape architect who worked in appointed head of the University of the Chicago region. In a lecture pre- Illinois extension program in 1912.

N Almost all genera have narcotic properties, some of them being ‘highly prejudicial to animal life’. These properties are lessened by boiling heat or by drying, or heightened by spirits & sugar. Fruits are achenes, berries, or follicles. The BUTTERCUP family has many species with hydrophilic, or recalcitrant, seeds. Care must be taken in their proper use in restoration. The follicles of some species resemble medieval jester hats. Some Saxifragaceae produce similar fruits, ie the garden Peonie. why do you build me up (build me up) buttercup baby? just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around? and then worst of all (worst of all) you never call baby like you say you will (say you will) but I love you still I need you (I need you) more than anyone darlin you know that I have from the start so build me up (build me up) buttercup don’t break my heart Mike D’Abo & Tony Macaulay 1968 Folliculi, a typical fruit type in Ranunculaceae, on Aquilegia ACONITUM Linnaeus 1753 MONKSHOOD, ACONITE, WOLF-BANE Ranunculaceae Aconitum from the Latin name, aconitum, the Monk's Hood, a poisonous plant, from ancient Greek ακονιτον, akoniton, loosely translated as unconquerable poison or according to Pliny, the name aconite is from the Black Sea port of Aconis.

Email: [email protected] Abstract The research presented in this paper had the purpose of Key words inventory and knowledge of spontaneous and subspontaneous plant species of Botanical Garden "Vasile Fati" Jibou, Salaj, Romania. Following systematic Jibou Botanical Garden, investigations undertaken in the botanical garden a large number of spontaneous flora, spontaneous taxons were found from the Romanian flora (650 species of adventive and vascular plants and 20 species of moss). Also were inventoried 38 species of subspontaneous plants, adventive plants, permanently established in Romania and 176 vascular plant floristic analysis, Romania species that have migrated from culture and multiply by themselves throughout the garden. In the garden greenhouses were found 183 subspontaneous species and weeds, both from the Romanian flora as well as tropical plants introduced by accident. Thus the total number of wild species rises to 1055, a large number compared to the occupied area. Some rare spontaneous plants and endemic to the Romanian flora (Galium abaujense, Cephalaria radiata, Crocus banaticus) were found. Cultivated species that once migrated from culture, accommodated to environmental conditions and conquered new territories; standing out is the Cyrtomium falcatum fern, once escaped from the greenhouses it continues to develop on their outer walls. Jibou Botanical Garden is the second largest exotic species can adapt and breed further without any botanical garden in Romania, after "Anastasie Fătu" care [11].

  • Southern Garden History Plant Lists
    Southern Plant Lists Southern Garden History Society A Joint Project With The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation September 2000 1 INTRODUCTION Plants are the major component of any garden, and it is paramount to understanding the history of gardens and gardening to know the history of plants. For those interested in the garden history of the American south, the provenance of plants in our gardens is a continuing challenge. A number of years ago the Southern Garden History Society set out to create a ‘southern plant list’ featuring the dates of introduction of plants into horticulture in the South. This proved to be a daunting task, as the date of introduction of a plant into gardens along the eastern seaboard of the Middle Atlantic States was different than the date of introduction along the Gulf Coast, or the Southern Highlands. To complicate maters, a plant native to the Mississippi River valley might be brought in to a New Orleans gardens many years before it found its way into a Virginia garden. A more logical project seemed to be to assemble a broad array plant lists, with lists from each geographic region and across the spectrum of time. The project’s purpose is to bring together in one place a base of information, a data base, if you will, that will allow those interested in old gardens to determine the plants available and popular in the different regions at certain times. This manual is the fruition of a joint undertaking between the Southern Garden History Society and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. In choosing lists to be included, I have been rather ruthless in expecting that the lists be specific to a place and a time.
