Photosynthetic adaptation to light intensity has been studied in clones of populations from shaded and exposed habitats of Rumex acetosa and Geum rivale. Clones of the shade species Lamium galeobdolon and the sun species Plantago lanceolata were also included for comparison. The plants were grown ...
Plants grown in full sun will have much better blooms than those grown in shaded areas. The pink blossoms fade to brown but remain standing on the plant throughout the winter months. Pink muhly grass is easy to grow in full sun and average, well-drained soil. Once established, it is ver...
Both ferns are great additions to woodland or rock gardens. These deciduous North American native ferns feature lacy, fan-shaped green fronds on glossy black stems. Ferns spread quickly in moist soil and lightly-shaded areas. Plant maidenhair and evergreen wood ferns among rain gardens, as a c...
Plants are popping up vigorously everywhere, and they are adding inches of growth almost overnight. This is a special time when the early bloomers are not yet shaded out by the eventually much taller summer perennials and leafing trees. Below sessile bellwort (Uvularia sessilifolia), twinleaf (...
shaded, moist areas but does not tolerate clay soils or standing water. Its leathery, dark green fronds can reach 1.5 to 2 feet in length and stay green throughout the winter, providing year-round interest. This fern is excellent for erosion control on slopes and adds a lush, green ...
Plants for a Future Database Native American Ethnobotany, University of Michigan, Dearborn Other Wood Ferns: Coastal Wood Fern,Dryopteris arguta,is more common in California and western Oregon but can be found in a few locales northwards to areas surrounding Vancouver, B.C. It is also known as...
the plant is transplanted to a larger pot and set in deeper water. Plants must not be allowed to get root-bound and must be watched. At the same time, the standing water level must continue to increase. In comparison, rhizome divisions are far simpler. Planted in 2-3” of soil in an...
Hurricane disturbances produce significant changes in forest microclimates, creating opportunities for seedling regeneration of native and invasive plant species alike. However, there is limited information on how changes in microclimates and pre-existing forest conditions affect native and invasive plants ...
Such sites as pond edges, ditches and depressions, low lying areas, floodplain meadows, and boggy areas all need specialty wetland tolerant species. Each of these environments need a different group of wetland plants because of such things as water depth and period of time submerged. ...
We found that alien plant species accounted for 20.4% of all recorded vascular plants (65 out of 318 taxa) on heaps, with 55% of those being neophytes and the rest being archaeophytes. A higher proportion of native species is well-known from other post-industrial sites (e.g. old Solvay...
