<h2><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Bassia scoparia Seeds Burning Bush</strong></span></h2> <h2><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong><span style="font-size:14pt;">Price for Package of 25 or 100 seeds.</span></strong></span></h2> <div> <div>Bassia scoparia (synonym Kochia scoparia) is an annual shrub native to Eurasia. It has introduced populations in many parts of North America, where it is found in grassland, prairie, and desert shrub ecosystems. Its vernacular names include burningbush, ragweed, summer cypress, fireball, belvedere and Mexican firebrush, Mexican fireweed. It may be planted in almost any climate zone in early spring.</div> <div>Mexican Firebrush (B. S. trichophylla) is a cultivar of B. scoparia that turns bright red in the fall. They easily self-seed and can become a weed if not controlled.</div> <div> <div>Biology</div> <div>The seed of Bassia scoparia is dispersed by wind, water, and especially by the whole plant detaching and tumbling in the wind (see Tumbleweed). The seed does not persist in the soil seed bank, but either germinates or dies within about a year.</div> <div>Bassia scoparia is a C4 plant, specifically of the NADP-ME type.</div> <div>Uses</div> <div>Uses of Bassia scoparia include human food and traditional medicine, forage for livestock, and erosion control.</div> <div>Tonburi</div> <div> <div>The seeds of Bassia scoparia are eaten as a food garnish called tonburi (とんぶり?) (Japanese). Its texture is similar to caviar, and it also is called "land caviar", "field caviar" and "mountain caviar". In Japan, tonburi is a delicacy (chinmi) of Akita prefecture. After harvesting the seeds are dried. To prepare them, the seeds are boiled and soaked in cold water for about a day, then rubbed by hand to remove the outer skin. The seeds are 1–2 mm in diameter, glossy with a black-green color.</div> <div>Tonburi also is used in traditional Chinese medicine. It may prevent metabolic disorders such as hyperlipidemia, hypertension, obesity and atherosclerosis. In a study of mice fed a high-fat diet, an extract of tonburi did limit obesity. Bassia scoparia seeds contain momordin Ic, a triterpene saponin.</div> <div>Forage</div> <div>The plant is a moderately useful forage for livestock, and a potential forage crop for dry lands.However, its use is limited by toxicity when fed in large quantities. Livestock grazing principally on lush stands of Bassia scoparia sometimes experience weight loss, hyperbilirubinemia, photosensitization, and polyuria. When used as the only feed for weeks, Bassia scoparia hay may cause toxicity in cattle.</div> <div>Other</div> <div> <div>Bassia scoparia is planted for ornament or erosion control. It is a known hyperaccumulator of Chromium, Lead, Mercury, Selenium, Silver, Zinc, and Uranium , and as such can be used for phytoremediation.</div> <div>Systematics</div> <div>The species was first published in 1753 by Carl Linnaeus, who named it Chenopodium scoparium. In 1809, it was included into the genus Kochia by Heinrich Schrader, and in 1978, into genus Bassia by A.J.Scott. Recent phylogenetic research confirmed, that Kochia has to be included in Bassia.

<div id="idTab1" class="rte"> <h2><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Blue Grass Seeds Festuca Glauca Intense Blue</strong></span></h2> <h2><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong><span style="font-size:14pt;">Price for Package of 10 seeds.</span></strong></span></h2> <div>Hardy Perennial. <span style="font-size:11pt;line-height:1.5em;">Dainty diminutive Festuca glauca makes a tight mound of steely blue, needle-like blades and is one of the most tactile of the evergreen grasses. A new flush of blue-grey leaves appears by early spring and makes a fine foil for bright, low-growing bulbs. Planted as a specimen or in swathes across a high - summer garden, the colour is so unexpected it can't help but catch the eye.</span> <p class="description">Festuca glauca is not a showy specimen plant but in a minimalist scheme, against a backing of slate and red chippings, it adds texture, colour and interest. These fescues look terrific planted in a silver-blue swathe among taller grasses: weave them through dark carexes or plant them around the base of deschampsias, molinias or miscanthus.<br />Good companions - Small, sun-loving plants such as rock roses, thymes, smaller erodiums and single, low-growing pinks, mingle well with this grass on a scree or slope. Alternatively, dark-leaved sedums and the strappy-leaved black Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Nigrescens' provide a strong contrast to the clumps.<br />Dark-purple lavenders of every type, the large-leaved sage (Salvia officinalis), lamb's ears (Stachys byzantina) and the ponytail grass (Stipa tenuissima) make good companions in a sunny border of silvers.<br />For a striking spring partnership, team blue fescue with Crocus chrysantha 'Blue Pearl' and 'Ladykiller', pink and red species tulips or deep-blue scillas.</p> <p>Sowing: Sow in Spring, February to April<br />Festuca glauca germinates easily from seed sown in spring. Sow in well drained soil and keep at around 20ºC (68ºF). Germinates in about two weeks<br />Once seedlings are large enough to handle, take a small clump of seedlings and put them all in a one-litre pot of gritty compost. They will form a bushy plant and be ready to go into the garden in summer. Grow in sun and in well drained soil. Sow 6mm (¼in) deep in rows 30cm (12in) apart in well cultivated soil which has been raked to a fine tilth. Germination is occasionally slow, so be patient! <br />Thin out the seedlings to 23cm (9in) apart. Replant the seedlings that have been removed</p> <p>Cultivation: <br />Feed in spring like ordinary perennials, with a single dressing of a general fertiliser. Even without an annual feed, most grasses will put on a first-rate show. The more nitrogen grasses receive the greener and further they'll grow. This spreading habit is fine in a field, but in a garden they may become too lush and the flower quality may suffer.</p> <p>Division: <br />Once the plant is established, divide in March to April. It is relatively easy to propagate by division. Do this in spring, not autumn, as some newly divided plants may rot before they've developed a good root system.</p> <p>Plant Uses: <br />Architectural, Cottage/Informal Garden, Drought Resistant, Flower Arranging, Flowers Borders and Beds, Green Roof, Low Maintenance, Mediterranean or Maritime. </p> <p>Origin: <br />Native to Europe, it was originally described by French naturalist Dominique Villars.</p> <p>Nomenclature: <br />Festuca is derived from the Latin <em>festuca</em> meaning ’stalk or straw’. <br />The species name glauca is derived from the Greek word <em>glaucous</em> meaning ‘blue grey’ in reference to the colour of the leaves. <br />It is commonly known as the Blue Fescue, Blue Mountain Grass, and Grey Fescue</p> </div> </div>

<div id="idTab1" class="rte"> <h2><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Giant Staghorn Fern Seeds (Platycerium Superbum)</strong></span></h2> <h2><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong><span style="font-size:14pt;">Price for Package of 50 seeds.</span></strong></span></h2> <div>Platycerium superbum, commonly known as the Staghorn fern is found in Queensland, northern New South Wales and Malaysia. Platycerium is a genus of about 18 species of ferns, four of which occur in eastern Australia. Two, the elkhorn (Platycerium bifurcatum) and the staghorn (P.superbum) are well-known in cultivation.</div> <div>Staghorns are generally epiphytic (growing on trees), or occasionally lithophytic (growing on rocks). These ferns have broad nest fronds, or sterile fronds, to 60 cm diameter, which grow and embrace the host and from a humus-collecting bowl, which can reach impressive dimensions of 1 metre across. The laminae of these fronds are erect and simple with deeply lobed upper margins. Fertile fronds are quite different in appearance, being broad at the base and hanging down from the plant, with forked laminae up to 200 cm in length and 2-6 cm wide. . The Staghorn entirely lacks the ability to produce plantlets, and the single plant simply gets larger each season. Brown sori, which contain spores, occur on the underside of the fertile fronds.</div> <div>In nature, these ferns often grow high up in trees, where they receive much light filtering through the canopy. Similarly, plenty of light is important for good growth in cultivation and dense shade is resented. Filtered sunlight with some humidity is best. </div> <div>Growing Platycerium from spore is not difficult given the right techniques and conditions. This species is frost tender and will not tolerate temperatures below 1*C. Some protection from drying wind is important, however, overwatering must be avoided. If the peaty centre remains continually wet, rot may occur and eventually kill the fern. Soaking intermittently, say, once weekly (but also depending on rainfall) is best. Fertilise with liquid organic fertilisers and sprinkle about 5g slow release fertiliser capsules into the bowl at intervals. Every few months place small pieces of aged hardened cow manure in the bowl. Staghorn ferns appreciate a slightly acidic environment and some growers find the remnants of a teapot emptied into the bowl to be helpful.</div> <div>Because of their relatively large size, staghorn ferns are rarely grown in pots except when small specimens are purchased. Utilizing their natural growth habit, staghorn ferns are well suited for mounting on cypress wood or tree fern fiber plaque or wire baskets. To mount a fern on a slab of wood, place a few handfuls of growing medium on the wood slightly below center, shaping it in a circular mound. Place the fern on the medium so the bud is slightly below center of the mount and basal fronds are in contact with the medium. Using wire (not copper) or plastic stripping, secure the fern tightly to its mount. This same method is also used for tree fern fiber plaques. Wire baskets can also be used when packed with medium and hung so the top of the basket is vertical. The fern is secured to the basket using wire or plastic stripping. Clay pots can also be used if hung sideways. </div> <div>Remounting to larger containers will be needed periodically as the fern grows. How often these are remounted depends on the size of the original mount, rate of medium breakdown, and growth rate of the fern. When the basal fronds reach the sides of the mount, it's time to place the fern on a larger mount. If the staghorn fern becomes too large, it may become impractical to remove the fern from its mount. In this case, enlarging the original mount periodically is suggested.</div> </div>

<h2><strong>Grass Pampas White Seeds (Cortaderia Selloana)</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 15 seeds.</strong></span></h2> <p>Tall, white-flushed, feathery plumes in late summer above large mounds of sharp-edged, mid-green leaves. This unusual pink form of pampas grass looks wonderful planted by water or set in the middle of a sunny, well-drained lawn. The real show starts in midsummer when the flowers, spectacular 30cm (12in) tall plumes, suddenly erupt above the foliage. The show continues well into winter as the feathery plumes persist and the foliage turns golden brown when touched by frost and cold weather.</p> <p>Impressive size, graceful aspect, durable toughness, and spectacular flowers all combine to make pampas grass one of the most recognized plants in the landscape. The leaves are narrow and arranged in dense fountain-like clumps.</p> <p>Female plants have wider, fuller flowers - the males' are thinner, more elongated and not as full. This garden beauty commands attention wherever it is used.</p> <h3><strong>Aftercare:</strong></h3> <p>Fertilizing ornamental grasses can result in over-lush growth and unmanageability. Don't be disappointed if your young plant does not have plumes for the first two or three years. When established plants do not form plumes, it is usually because they have been overwatered or fed too heavily, which would tend to stimulate foliage growth instead of plumes.</p> <h3><strong>Cultivation:</strong></h3> <p>Pampas grass grows well on a range of soil types but thrives in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. After a time the tussocks can become very large and congested with old, dead foliage. Cutting back and combing regularly in late winter or spring should minimize the dead foliage and keep the tussock compact. Because of its sharp leaf margins, pampas grass was commonly burnt in its native habitat to control its spread, but in the garden, burning can be dangerous not only for the gardener but because pampas grass is a favorite place for hedgehogs to hibernate.</p> <h3><strong>Drying:</strong></h3> <p>Pampas Grass can be dried and make interesting focal or secondary flowers in dried arrangements.

<div id="idTab1" class="rte"> <h2><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>New Zealand flax - Flax lily Seeds (Phormium tenax)</strong></span></h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Price for Package of 3 seeds.</span></strong></span></h2> <div>Phormium is a genus of two plant species in the Xanthorrhoeaceae family. One species is endemic to New Zealand and the other is native to New Zealand and Norfolk Island. The two species are widely known in New Zealand as 'flax' and elsewhere as New Zealand flax or Flax lily but are not related to Flax which is native to the region extending from the eastern Mediterranean to India and which was used by humans in 30,000 B.C.</div> <div>Taxonomy</div> <div>Phormium is an herbaceous perennial monocot. Monocot classification has undergone significant revision in the past decade, and recent classification systems (including the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group) have found Phormium to be closely related to daylilies (Hemerocallis). Phormium formerly belonged to the family Agavaceae and many classification systems still place it there. It includes two species, Phormium colensoi and Phormium tenax. It also includes many cultivars.</div> <div>The genus was originally established by the German naturalists Johann Reinhold Forster and his son Georg Forster in 1775 from specimens of Phormium tenax collected by both Forsters and the Swedish naturalist Anders Erikson Sparrman. All of them were part of the second expedition of Captain James Cook aboard the Resolution (1772–1775).[4] The type specimens were taken from Queen Charlotte Sound, with additional specimens from both Norfolk Island and North Island, New Zealand. The name Phormium comes from Ancient Greek for "basket", while tenax was Latin for "strong".</div> <div>Description and ecology</div> <div>The tough, sword-shaped leaves grow up to three metres long and up to 125 mm wide. They are usually darkish green but sometimes have coloured edges and central ribs. Cultivated varieties range from light green through pink to deep russet bronze. There are numerous variegated cultivars with leaves marked by contrasting stripes in shades of green, red, bronze, pink and yellow.</div> <div>The rigid flower stalks can be up to five metres long, projecting high above the foliage. In November (in New Zealand) they produce clumps of curving tube-like flowers which turn bright red when mature. These produce unusually large quantities of nectar to attract all nectar feeding birds such as the tui and insects. The seedpods that develop after pollination, each contain hundreds of seeds which are later widely dispersed by the wind.</div> <div>Distribution and habitat</div> <div>P. tenax occurs naturally in New Zealand and Norfolk Island, while P. colensoi is endemic to New Zealand. Both species have been widely distributed to temperate regions of the world as economic fibre and ornamental plants.</div> <div>They are found mainly in swamps or low lying areas but will grow just about anywhere.<hr></div> <div> <div><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Sowing: &nbsp;</strong>Spring (Feb to April) or in Autumn (Sept to Oct)</span></div> <div><span style="color: #008000;">Sow at maximum 16 to 18°C (60 to 65°F), covering them with a thin layer of peaty compost. Kept moist but not wet at all times. Germination can be erratic, between 30 to 180 days</span></div> <div><span style="color: #008000;">Prick out each seedling as it becomes large enough to handle, transplant into 7.5cm (3in) pots or trays. Grow on in the greenhouse for at least their first winter. Plant them out into their permanent positions in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10 to 15days before planting out. You may find them rather lax as youngsters but they develop a strong upright habit rather quickly.</span></div> <div><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Cultivation:</strong></span></div> <div><span style="color: #008000;">Once established, Phormium require only the minimum of care and are hardy to minus -5°C (23°F), but in frost prone areas, it is worth covering plants with a deep mulch of well-rotted compost or straw in winter. &nbsp;</span></div> <div><span style="color: #008000;">Healthy plants soon grow into a large clump as new fans of leaves develop around the older ones. These eventually develop their own roots and can be detached from the parent plant. It is probably best to cut back some of the leaves of the young plant to reduce the water demand while it is getting established. Even if all the roots get broken off, most pieces will root again if kept moist.</span></div> <div><span style="color: #008000;">Plants can be divided in spring. Dig up the whole plant then divide it into several pieces using a spade or knife.</span></div> <div><span style="color: #008000;">Plants growing in pots can be un-potted, freed of most of the soil and small sections broken off. The roots can be carefully teased apart leaving as many as possible attached to each offset. The pieces can then be planted separately.</span></div> <div><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Plant Uses: &nbsp;</strong></span></div> <div><span style="color: #008000;">Architectural, Tropical, Containers, Cultivated Beds.</span></div> </div> </div><script src="//cdn.public.n1ed.com/G3OMDFLT/widgets.js"></script>

<h2><strong>Ornamental Pink Pampas Grass Seeds (Cortaderia Selloana)</strong></h2><h2><span style="color: #ff0000;" data-mce-style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 15 seeds.</strong></span></h2><div><div>Tall, pink-flushed, feathery plumes in late summer above large mounds of sharp-edged, mid-green leaves. This unusual pink form of pampas grass looks wonderful planted by water or set in the middle of a sunny, well-drained lawn. They generally bloom a week or two earlier than the white variety.</div><div>The real show starts in midsummer when the flowers, spectacular 30cm (12in) tall plumes, suddenly erupt above the foliage. The show continues well into winter as the feathery plumes persist and the foliage turns golden brown when touched by frost and cold weather.</div><div>Impressive size, graceful aspect, durable toughness, and spectacular flowers all combine to make pampas grass one of the most recognized plants in the landscape. The leaves are narrow and arranged in dense fountain like clumps.</div><div>Female plants have wider, fuller flowers - the males' are thinner, more elongated and not as full. This garden beauty commands attention wherever it is used.</div><div>Aftercare:</div><div>Fertilizing ornamental grasses can result in over-lush growth and unmanageability. Don't be disappointed if your young plant does not have plumes for the first two or three years. When established plants do not form plumes, it is usually because they have been over watered or fed too heavily, which would tend to stimulate foliage growth instead of plumes.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Cultivation:</div><div>Pampas grass grows well on a range of soil types but thrives in a fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. After time the tussocks can become very large and congested with old, dead foliage. Cutting back and combing regularly in late winter or spring should minimise the dead foliage and keep the tussock compact. Because of its sharp leaf margins pampas grass was commonly burnt in its native habitat to control its spread, but in the garden burning can be dangerous not only for the gardener but because pampas grass is a favorite place for hedgehogs to hibernate.</div><div>Drying:</div><div>Pampas Grass can be dried and make interesting focal or secondary flowers in dried arrangements. To dry, cut the flower at the height of bloom and hang upside down in a cool, dark place to dry.</div><div>Plant Uses: &nbsp;</div><div>Architectural, Cottage/Informal Garden, Drought Resistant, Flower Arranging, Flowers Borders and Beds, Low Maintenance or Mediterranean.</div><div>Hardy Perennial.</div><div>oliage: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Strap like, 2cm (3/4in) wide, to 1m (3ft) long.</div><div>Flowers: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Pale pink plumes up to 2.5m (8ft)</div><div>Plant Height: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;1m (36in)</div><div>Plant Spread: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;1m (36in)</div><div>Position: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Full Sun to light shade</div><div>Soil: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Prefers fertile well-drained loamy soils</div></div><div><table class="mce-item-table" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tbody><tr><td class="bucket normal"><div class="content"><ul><li><span style="color: #008000;" data-mce-style="color: #008000;">BLOOM TIME: Late Summer</span></li><li><span style="color: #008000;" data-mce-style="color: #008000;">HARDINESS ZONE: 7 - 10</span></li><li><span style="color: #008000;" data-mce-style="color: #008000;">PLANT HEIGHT: 96 - 144" . . .

<h2><strong>Organic Cat Grass Seeds (Dactylis glomerata)</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 100 seeds.</strong></span></h2> <p>Cat grass (or catgrass) is a type of cereal grass such as oat grass or wheat grass which can be grown indoors from seeds. Once sprouted, the leaves of the cat grass plant can be fed to your cat or other pet as a treat to help satisfy their craving for greens.</p> <p><strong>Why do cats need Cat Grass?</strong></p> <p><strong>Here are some of the wheatgrass benefits for pets</strong></p> <p>    Nutritionally complete food</p> <p>    Studies by scientists have shown it to never be toxic in animals or humans</p> <p>    Gives energy &amp; stamina</p> <p>    Reverses illness</p> <p>    Protection of toxins- including aging and combats free radicals</p> <p>    Rejuvenates blood</p> <p>    Helps shed pounds by detoxifying the body</p> <p>    DNA repair</p> <p>    Blood cleansing and building abilities of chlorophyll</p> <p>    Builds blood and stimulates circulation</p> <p>    Stimulates and regenerates the liver</p> <p>    Deodorizes body</p> <p>Wheatgrass is absolutely safe for pets. All pets. This includes dogs, cats, hamsters, etc. In fact, because it has so many nutrients and a high concentration of chlorophyll it will do nothing but good for them. Cats and dogs can digest the wheatgrass fiber well, unlike humans, which bodies do better with wheatgrass juice.</p> <p>Wheatgrass is packed with essential vitamins and nutrients that keep your mind and body healthy and vibrant. Taking a "shot" of juiced wheatgrass as part of your morning breakfast routine is considered a healthy way to start the day, but it can get very expensive. If you want to make wheatgrass a regular part of your diet, try growing it yourself at home instead of buying it already juiced.</p> <p><strong>Prepare the seeds for soaking.</strong></p> <p>Measure out enough seeds to create a light layer on the seed tray you use to grow the grass.</p> <p>    Rinse the seeds in cool, clean water using a colander with very small holes or a strainer. Drain them well and put them in a bowl.</p> <p><strong>Soak the seeds.</strong> Soaking the seeds initiates germination. By the end of the process, the seeds will have sprouted small roots.</p> <p>    Pour cold water, preferably filtered, into the bowl of seeds. Add about 3 times as much water as you have seeds. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it on the counter to soak for about 10 hours, or overnight.</p> <p>    Drain the water from the seeds and replace it with more cold, filtered water - again, about 3 times as much water as you have seeds. Let it soak for another 10 hours.</p> <p>    Repeat the process one more time, for a total of three long soaks.</p> <p>    By the end of the last soak, the seeds should have sprouted roots. This means they are ready to plant. Drain them and set them aside until you're ready to plant them.</p> <p><strong>Prepare the seed tray for planting.</strong> Line the seed tray with paper towels, to prevent the wheatgrass roots from growing through the holes in the bottom of the tray. Spread an even two-inch layer of organic compost or potting soil in the seed tray.</p> <p>    If possible, use paper towels that have not been treated with chemicals or dyes. Recycled, chemical-free paper towels are available at health food stores.</p> <p>    Use pre-moistened compost or potting soil free of pesticides or other chemicals. It's important to use organic soil to get the most benefit from your wheatgrass.</p> <p><strong>Plant the seeds.</strong> Spread the seeds in an even layer across the top of the compost or potting soil. Lightly press the seeds into the soil, but don't completely bury them.</p> <p>    It's fine if the seeds are touching each other, but make sure there's not a pile of seeds in one area. Each seed needs a little room to grow.</p> <p>    Water the tray lightly, making sure each seed gets a sprinkle.</p> <p>    Cover the tray with a few moistened sheets of newspaper to protect the seedlings.</p> <p><strong>Keep the seeds moist.</strong> It's important to make sure the seeds don't dry out in the first few days after you plant them. Keep them damp as they root themselves in the seed tray.</p> <p>    Lift the newspaper and water the tray thoroughly in the morning so that the soil is wet, but not completely waterlogged.</p> <p>    Use a spray bottle filled with water to lightly mist the soil in the evening before you go to bed, so the seedlings don't dry out overnight. Spray the newspaper, too, so it keeps them wet.</p> <p>    After four days, remove the newspaper. Continue watering the sprouted grass once a day.</p> <p><strong>Keep the grass in partial sunlight.</strong> Direct sun will damage the grass, so make sure it is always in a shady place in your home.</p>

The horizontal eyelash-like chartreuse flowers appear in mid-summer and age to blonde seed heads by fall. They are held on the plant right through the winter to provide many months of interest.</p> <p>Plant Select Winner 2011 30-36" tall x 30-36" wide. An exceptionally large growing selection of our native Blue Grama Grass, Bouteloua gracilis Blonde Ambition has 2 1/2 to 3 ft. tall stems of flowers that mature to long lasting blonde seed heads. These flag-like flowers rise up out of the blue-green foliage in mid-summer and are held on stiff, weather resistant stems. 'Blonde Ambition' Blue Grama Grass provides exceptional winter interest as the stems of seed heads pop up even after a heavy snow and remain standing through winter, giving the grass 6 to 8 months of garden color and texture.</p> <p>Seldom does a new grass selection offer the gardener something so completely different and exciting. Its profusion of big, showy chartreuse flowers, held horizontally above the leaves is unlike any other ornamental grass in cultivation. This beauty is extremely cold hardy, grows in a wide range of soil types and is a perfect choice for low maintenance home or commercial landscapes. 'Blonde Ambition' Grass is native to 26 states and performs well across the country, particularly in hardiness zones 4-9. Cut back old stems to 2-3” above ground-level in mid-spring. Divide every third year. Discovered and introduced by David Salman of High Country Gardens. (Propagated by division).</p> <p>2011 High Country Gardens Plant of the Year. Blonde Ambition Blue Grama Grass was named by the Plant Select gardeners' survey as the best perennial of 2013.</p> <p><strong><em>Planting Guides</em></strong></p> <p>Caring For Blonde Ambition Blue Grama Grass</p> <p>Cutting back Blonde Ambition Blue Grama Grass (Bouteloua gracilis Blonde Ambition) should be done in mid-spring when the new green grass blades begin to sprout from the crown. The stems holding the seed heads are very resilient and stay upright even after a snowy winter, so the grass looks good until mid-spring.</p> <p>Cut back to a height of 2 to 3 inches above ground level and scratch out the crown with gloved hands to loosen thatch and make room for the new growth to push up and out.</p> <p>Mulching: Blonde Ambition (and many ornamental grasses) don't need mulching. But if planted in a mulched bed, Blonde Ambition is very adaptable as to the type of mulch. We recommend that the mulch layer around the plant be thin (less than an inch deep).</p> <h2>WIKIPEDIA:</h2> <p>Bouteloua gracilis (blue grama) is a long-lived, warm-season (C4) perennial grass, native to North America.</p> <p>It is most commonly found from Alberta, Canada, east to Manitoba and south across the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains, and U.S. Midwest states, onto the northern Mexican Plateau in Mexico.</p> <p>Blue grama accounts for most of the net primary productivity in the shortgrass prairie of the central and southern Great Plains.

The overall height of the plant is 6 to 12 in (15 to 30 cm) at maturity.[3]</p> <p>The flowering stems (culms) are 7 to 18 inches (18 to 46 cm) long. There are typically two comb-like spikes, each with 20 to 90 spikelets, that extend out at a sharp angle from the flowering stem.</p> <p>Each spikelet is 5 to 6 mm (0.20 to 0.24 in) long. There is one fertile floret with a lemma (bract) 5 to 5.5 mm (0.20 to 0.22 in) long, with three short awns (bristles) at the tip, and one reduced sterile floret about 2 mm (0.08 in) long with three awns about 5 mm (0.2 in) long.</p> <p>The roots generally grow 12 to 18 inches (30 to 46 cm) outwards, and 3 to 6.5 feet (0.9 to 2.0 m) deep.</p> <p>Blue grama is readily established from seed, but depends more on vegetative reproduction via tillers. Seed production is slow, and depends on soil moisture and temperature. Seeds dispersed by wind only reach a few meters (6 ft); farther distances are reached with insects, birds, and mammals as dispersal agents. Seedling establishment, survival, and growth are greatest when isolated from neighboring adult plants, which effectively exploit water in the seedling's root zone. Successful establishment requires a modest amount of soil moisture during the extension and development of adventitious roots.</p> <p>Established plants are grazing-, cold-, and drought-tolerant, though prolonged drought leads to a reduction in root number and extent. They employ an opportunistic water-use strategy, rapidly using water when available, and becoming dormant during less-favorable conditions. In terms of successional status, blue grama is a late seral to climax species. Recovery following disturbance is slow and depends on the type and extent of the disturbance.</p> <p><strong>Horticulture and agriculture</strong></p> <p>Blue grama is valued as forage.</p> <p>Bouteloua gracilis is grown by the horticulture industry, and used in perennial gardens; naturalistic and native plant landscaping; habitat restoration projects; and in residential, civic, and highway erosion control. Blue Grama flowers are also used in dried flower arrangements.</p> <p>Blue grama is the state grass of Colorado and New Mexico. It is listed as an endangered species in Illinois.</p> <p>Among the Zuni people, the grass bunches are tied together and the severed end used as a hairbrush, the other as a broom. Bunches are also used to strain goat's milk.</p> <p><strong>Garden Uses</strong></p> <p>Small size makes blue grama grass an excellent selection for rock gardens where it can be used as a specimen or in small groups. Also an excellent choice for naturalized areas, native plant gardens, unmowed meadows, prairie areas or other informal areas in the landscape, especially where drought tolerant plants are needed. Can also be grown as a turf grass and regularly mowed to 2 inches high. Flower spikes are an excellent addition for dried flower arrangements.</p> <p><strong>Culture</strong></p> <p>Easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerates a wide range of soils, except poorly-drained, wet ones. Excellent drought tolerance. Freely self-seeds. Cut to the ground in late winter before new shoots appear.</p>

It is a crown-forming, colony-forming plant, occurring in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere in central and northern Europe, northern Asia, and northern North America. The species epithet struthiopteris comes from Ancient Greek words, struthio meaning ostrich and pterion meaning wing.</p> <p>It grows from a completely vertical crown, favoring riverbanks and sandbars, but sends out lateral stolons to form new crowns. It thus can form dense colonies resistant to destruction by floodwaters.</p> <p>The fronds are dimorphic, with the deciduous green sterile fronds being almost vertical, 100–170 cm (39–67 in) tall and 20–35 cm (7.9–13.8 in) broad, long-tapering to the base but short-tapering to the tip, so that they resemble ostrich plumes, hence the name. The fertile fronds are shorter, 40–60 cm (16–24 in) long, brown when ripe, with highly modified and constricted leaf tissue curled over the sporangia; they develop in autumn, persist erect over the winter and release the spores in early spring.</p> <p>Matteuccia species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Sthenopis auratus.</p> <p><strong>Cultivation and uses</strong></p> <p>The ostrich fern is a popular ornamental plant in gardens. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. While choosing a place of planting it should be taken into account that this fern is very expansive and its leaves often lose their beauty throughout the summer, especially if not protected from wind and hail. The tightly wound immature fronds, called fiddleheads, are also used as a cooked vegetable, and are considered a delicacy mainly in rural areas of northeastern North America. It is considered inadvisable to eat uncooked fiddleheads.</p> <p>The sprouts are also picked all over Japan, ("kogomi" in Japanese) where they are a delicacy.</p>

De<span>&nbsp;</span>steunblaadjes<span>&nbsp;</span>aan de voet van de bladsteel zijn vliezig, tot een kokertje vergroeid om de stengel (hoewel dat uiteindelijk vaak scheurt) en naar de top toe plotseling toegespitst.</p> <p>De plant bloeit van mei of juni tot de herfst met witte bloemen in een<span>&nbsp;</span>hoofdjesachtige<span>&nbsp;</span>tros<span>&nbsp;</span>met een lange steel. De bloemen zijn<span>&nbsp;</span>tweeslachtig<span>&nbsp;</span>en<span>&nbsp;</span>tweezijdig symmetrisch. De bloemkroon steekt ver voorbij de kale<span>&nbsp;</span>kelk<span>&nbsp;</span>die bestaat uit vijf samengegroeide kelkblaadjes die uitlopen in ongelijke langwerpigdriehoekige slippen. De<span>&nbsp;</span>bloemkroon<span>&nbsp;</span>is wit of later roze aangelopen. Er zijn vijf aan de voet vergroeide bloemkroonblaadjes, die samen de<span>&nbsp;</span>kenmerkende anatomie<span>&nbsp;</span>hebben die bekend is van de meeste vlinderbloemigen, met een vlag, zwaarden en een uit twee blaadjes bestaande kiel. De negen onderste meeldraden zijn met elkaar vergroeid, en aan de voet van de bovenste meeldraad wordt nectar afgescheiden. Na de bloei valt de bloemkroon niet af maar verdroogd bruin. De bloemen hebben de kenmerkende zoete geur van klaverhoning. De bloemen zijn 0,8-1,3 cm lang. De bloemen verwelken via roze tot bruin. De<span>&nbsp;</span>kelkbladen<span>&nbsp;</span>zijn<span>&nbsp;</span>tiennervig.</p> <p>De vrucht is een<span>&nbsp;</span>peultje<span>&nbsp;</span>dat verborgen zit in de bruine en verdroogde<span>&nbsp;</span>bloemkroon, en bevat meestal 2-5 gele en later bruingele hartvormige zaden.</p> <h3 style="color: #000000; font-size: 1.2em;"><span class="mw-headline" id="Verschillen_met_andere_klaversoorten">Verschillen met andere klaversoorten</span></h3> <p style="color: #202122; font-size: 14px;">Witte klaver lijkt voor en tijdens de bloei sterk op<span>&nbsp;</span>aardbeiklaver<span>&nbsp;</span>en de<span>&nbsp;</span>basterdklaver, die ook witte naar roze verbloeiende bloemhoofdjes kunnen hebben, maar bij witte klaver zijn de steunblaadjes aan de voet van elk blad vliezig, tot een kokertje vergroeid en plotseling smal toegespitst, terwijl die bij beide andere soorten niet vliezig, niet met elkaar vergroeid en geleidelijk toegespitst zijn. Witte klaver heeft vaak (maar niet altijd) een lichte halvemaanvormige band op het blad, die bij aardbei- en basterdklaver niet voorkomt. Basterdklaver heeft geen kruipende en op de knopen wortelende stengels, maar holle, rechtopstaande stengels. De kelken van aardbeiklaver zwellen na de bloei op zodat een framboosachtig, roze viltig behaard hoofdje ontstaat, terwijl bij witte en basterdklaver de bruine uitgebloeide bloemkronen het beeld bepalen. De<span>&nbsp;</span>rode klaver<span>&nbsp;</span>heeft vaak ook een lichte gebogen band midden over elk deelblaadje, maar heeft uitsluitend opstijgende stengels die niet wortelen op de knopen, en de bloemhoofdjes staan vlak boven het bovenste paar bladeren. De<span>&nbsp;</span>bochtige klaver<span>&nbsp;</span>heeft kruipende maar uiteindelijk opstijgende, van blad naar blad zigzaggende stengels en de bloemhoofdjes zijn aanvankelijk kort gesteeld, maar de steel groeit tijdens de bloei. De andere in Nederland voorkomende klaversoorten zijn eenjarig en wortelen niet op de knopen van de stengels.<sup id="cite_ref-Heukels_2-1" class="reference">[2]</sup></p> <h2 style="color: #000000; font-size: 1.5em;"><span class="mw-headline" id="Toepassingen">Toepassingen</span></h2> <p style="color: #202122; font-size: 14px;">Witte klaver is<span>&nbsp;</span>genetisch divers<span>&nbsp;</span>en kan zich goed<span>&nbsp;</span>aanpassen<span>&nbsp;</span>aan uiteenlopende omstandigheden, en hij combineert goed met<span>&nbsp;</span>overjarige<span>&nbsp;</span>grassoorten. De soort kan zich goed handhaven door het uitgroeien van de kruipende stengels en door uit zaad op te slaan. Bijzonder nuttig is ook dat de soort een<span>&nbsp;</span>symbiose<span>&nbsp;</span>heeft met stikstofbindende bacteriën van de soort<span>&nbsp;</span><i>Rhizobium<span>&nbsp;</span>trifolii</i>, die zich in<span>&nbsp;</span>knolletjes op de wortels<span>&nbsp;</span>bevinden.<sup id="cite_ref-OGTR_3-1" class="reference">[3]</sup></p> <p style="color: #202122; font-size: 14px;">Er zitten veel voordelen aan de aanwezigheid van witte klaver in grasland, zoals het hoge gehalte aan eiwitten en mineralen, het feit dat het graag gegeten wordt door het vee en zo het hele jaar een bijdrage levert aan de voeding daarvan. Witte klaver heeft een hoge voedingswaarde met 22-28% eiwit, ongeveer 3% vet en 16-21% ruwe vezel. Het gewas wordt bijna altijd gebruikt in combinatie met grassoorten. Hij wordt toegepast voor<span>&nbsp;</span>begrazing, om te<span>&nbsp;</span>hooien, en als<span>&nbsp;</span>bodembedekker<span>&nbsp;</span>in de<span>&nbsp;</span>tuinbouw. Hij is belangrijk in de<span>&nbsp;</span>melkveehouderij, de vlees- en wolproductie, en leidt daar tot een sterke verbetering van de opbrengsten.<sup id="cite_ref-OGTR_3-2" class="reference">[3]</sup></p> <p style="color: #202122; font-size: 14px;">Witte klaver is ook een belangrijke<span>&nbsp;</span>drachtplant<span>&nbsp;</span>voor<span>&nbsp;</span>honingbijen, en zou op wereldschaal zelfs de belangrijkste soort zijn voor de honingproductie.<sup id="cite_ref-OGTR_3-3" class="reference">[3]</sup><span>&nbsp;</span>Kinderen plukken de bloempjes om er nectar uit te zuigen, en witte klaver wordt daarom soms ook suikerbloem genoemd.</p> <p style="color: #202122; font-size: 14px;">Al eeuwen staat het vinden van een klavertjevier bekend als geluksbrenger, omdat deze bladvorm zeldzaam is, maar vooral omdat het een symbool voor het kruis is.

De soort kan niet tegen een voortdurend hoge waterstand, maar verdraagt bijvoorbeeld wel langdurige inundatie in het winterhalfjaar, zoals in duinvalleien en uiterwaarden. Hij groeit ook aan de rand van schorren, maar kan niet tegen al te zout en stilstaand water. Witte klaver houdt geen stand in de schaduw of tussen lang gras, maar is beter bestand tegen begrazing en betreding dan de grassen waarmee hij voorkomt. Witte klaver kan goed tegen bemesting, maar boet in aan concurrentiekracht als er heel veel nitraat in de bodem is. Als&nbsp;</span>Engels raaigras<span>&nbsp;door vorst of droogte achteruitgaat neemt het aandeel witte klaver in de vegetatie toe.

It is a tender herbaceous perennial, native to Africa, and forms tall stands of reed-like swamp vegetation in shallow water.</p> <p>Papyrus sedge (and its close relatives) has a very long history of use by humans, notably by the Ancient Egyptians—it is the source of papyrus paper, one of the first types of paper ever made. Parts of the plant can be eaten, and the highly buoyant stems can be made into boats. It is now often cultivated as an ornamental plant.</p> <p>In nature, it grows in full sun, in flooded swamps, and on lake margins throughout Africa, Madagascar, and the Mediterranean countries.</p> <p>C. papyrus and the dwarf cultivar C. papyrus 'Nanus'[3] have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.</p> <p>This tall, robust, leafless aquatic plant can grow 4 to 5 m (13 to 16 ft) high. It forms a grass-like clump of triangular green stems that rise up from thick, woody rhizomes. Each stem is topped by a dense cluster of thin, bright green, thread-like stems around 10 to 30 cm (4 to 10 in) in length, resembling a feather duster when the plant is young. Greenish-brown flower clusters eventually appear at the ends of the rays, giving way to brown, nut-like fruits.</p> <p>The younger parts of the rhizome are covered by red-brown, papery, triangular scales, which also cover the base of the culms. Botanically, these represent reduced leaves, so strictly it is not quite correct to call this plant fully "leafless".</p> <p><strong>Cultivation</strong></p> <p>The papyrus plant is relatively easy to grow from seed, though in Egypt, it is more common to split the rootstock, and grows quite fast once established.</p> <p><strong>Uses</strong></p> <p>In Ancient Egypt, papyrus was used for various of purposes such as baskets, sandals, blankets, medicine, incense, and boats. The woody root was used to create bowls and different utensils, and was also burned for fuel. Egyptians made efficient use of the entire plant. Papyrus was an important, "Gift of the Nile" which is still preserved and perpetuated in the Egyptian culture.</p> <p><strong>Papyrus in history</strong></p> <p>Egyptians used the plant (which they called aaru) for many purposes, most famously for making papyrus. Its name in Greek and in English is widely believed to have come from Egyptian. Cyperus papyrus is now used mainly for decoration, as it is nearly extinct in its native habitat in the Nile Delta, where in ancient times it was widely cultivated. Theophrastus' History of Plants (Book iv. 10) states that it grew in Syria, and according to Pliny's Natural History, it was also a native plant of the Niger River and the Euphrates.</p> <p>Aside from papyrus, several other members of the genus Cyperus may also have been involved in the multiple uses Egyptians found for the plant. Its flowering heads were linked to make garlands for the gods in gratitude. The pith of young shoots was eaten both cooked and raw. Its woody root made bowls and other utensils and was burned for fuel. From the stems were made reed boats (seen in bas-reliefs of the Fourth Dynasty showing men cutting papyrus to build a boat; similar boats are still made in southern Sudan), sails, mats, cloth, cordage, and sandals. Theophrastus states that King Antigonus made the rigging of his fleet of papyrus, an old practice illustrated by the ship's cable, wherewith the doors were fastened when Odysseus slew the suitors in his hall (Odyssey xxi. 390).</p> <p>The "rush" or "reed" basket in which the Biblical figure Moses was abandoned may have been made from papyrus.</p> <p>The adventurer Thor Heyerdahl built two boats from papyrus, Ra and Ra II, in an attempt to demonstrate that ancient African or Mediterranean people could have reached America. He succeeded in sailing Ra II from Morocco to Barbados. Fishermen in the Okavango Delta use small sections of the stem as floats for their nets.</p> <p><strong>Ecology</strong></p> <p>Papyrus can be found in tropical rain forests,[where?] tolerating annual temperatures of 20 to 30 °C (68 to 86 °F) and a pH of 6.0 to 8.5. Papyrus flowers in late summer, and prefers full sun to partly shady conditions. Like most tropical plants, it is sensitive to frost. In the United States, it has become invasive in Florida and has escaped from cultivation in Louisiana, California, and Hawaii.</p> <p>Papyrus sedge forms vast stands in swamps, shallow lakes, and along stream banks throughout the wetter parts of Africa, but it has become rare in the Nile Delta. In deeper waters, it is the chief constituent of the floating, tangled masses of vegetation known as sudd. It also occurs in Madagascar, and some Mediterranean areas such as Sicily and the Levant.</p> <p>The "feather-duster" flowering heads make ideal nesting sites for many social species of birds. As in most sedges, pollination is by wind, not insects, and the mature fruits after release are distributed by water.</p> <p>Papyrus is a C4 sedge that forms highly productive monotypic stands over large areas of wetland in Africa.</p> <h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #fd0000;"><strong>ATTENTION !!! </strong></span></h2> <h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #fd0000;"><strong>SEEDS ARE VERY SMALL, UNPACKING AT THE WHITE PAPER !!!</strong></span></h2> <p></p> </body> </html>
