Rarely found in wild east of Mississippi. One of the easiest perenniels to grow in Tallahassee.
GC: In recent years, this large perennial has become a favorite. It is easy to grow and when started early in the year, will
bloom in its first season. The large daisy-like flowers are excellent for cutting and have a prominent, brown central cone
surrounded by purple or pink, drooping petals. This perennial requires moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil. It will tolerate
wind and drought. The foliage is comprised of lance-shaped, dark green leaves. There is also a white-flowering form
available. Historically, this plant has been grown for its medicinal properties and is still used today to make commercial
herbal remedies. Niche Gardens sells this for $4.50 and only lists for full sun.

GARDEN LOCATION/STATUS: AREA 23 Upper right corner
8/10/96 - growing vigorously and spreading by underground rhyzomes. Need to watch this one, as it appears to be invasive.
9/22/96 - pulled several new starts out that were moving into other areas. They spread by thick surface roots/rhyzomes.
Need to ask Mike Bridges about this.
10/13/96 - moved them to Area 23 due to invasive habit
2/10/97 - still pulling pieces from Area 2! It seems to be more controlled here, and one small bloom so far. Actually very
nice.
3/17/97 - growing well but there were no more blooms.
3/26/97 - started blooming again but sparse
8/28/97 - they are starting to spread through the garden area now, and the original plants are not looking so good.
2/14/98 - spreading throughout this area, a really invasive plant. One small piece of a root will start to grow. Blooming
sparsely, not bad looking, but not a really thick groundcover.
3/31/98 - very nice blooms this year, but it is getting out of bounds, spreads too aggressively
5/20/98 - weeded and potted up divisions
1998 summary - grows well where nothing else will, in shaded area choked with tree roots from large Oak tree.
1999 summary - dry shade choked with tree roots is finally taking its toll. Died back in dry weather and did not look as
good in spring.
BOTANICAL NAME: Epimedium grandiflorum
COMMON NAME: Longspur Epimedium
OTHER NAMES & SYNONYMS: Barrenwort, Bishop's Hat
TYPE PLANT: perennial
HABIT, USES: Clump, Groundcover
HEIGHT (inches unless specified): 8-10

Propagation: Division, Seeds
REFERENCE NOTES:
TAYLOR - recommends these as easy care shade flowers. E. grandiflorum recommended by US National Arboretum. She says height
is 12-18 inches.
LAWRENCE - these do well in the South, many species listed in her book. Delicate little spurred flowers are like tiny
columbines.
SCHENK - Japanese wildflower, all climates. grow as slowly widening clumps. Propagate by cutting the tough basal part of
plant into wedges.
SISKIYOU - "aristocrat of grouncovers for shade" long lived perennials, dainty flowers and handsome foliage.
GC - A garden plant which some gardeners consider to be the king of groundcovers. Epimediums prefer shade and will remain
evergreen in the warm climates. They require good, loamy soil to allow them to spread but they will not spread as rapidy as
some other groundcover plants, so be patient. Flowers are pink or reddish-mauve, have twisted petals that are tipped with
white and appear in the spring in airy little clusters. The foliage changes color with the seasons: pink-veined in the spring
turning to an overall bronze by the fall. Old, wiry stems may be pruned out in the spring. 'Violaceum' is pictured. 'Rose
Queen' is another popular cultivar.

http://www.tropiflora.com/creport/v10n2p6.html - Tropiflora
Cryptocereus anthonyanus Called Ric-Rac or Zig-Zag cactus, it is an epiphytic cactus with a most unusual stem.
The blades of the stem are flattened and lobbed on the margins in a wavy fashion, giving the plant its bizarre
appearance. A vigorous grower, it makes flowing hanging baskets in a relatively short time. The fragrant flowers open at
night with large pale yellow and purple petals. Large plants do not ship well due to the stiffness of the foliage, which
breaks easily. We are offering generous sized cuttings which are easy to root, three pieces, enough to start a full basket,

DICTIONARY - Valuable evergreen shrubs or small trees. Flowers from 1/3 to 1/2 in. wide in terminal panicles. Slightly
tender in cold positions and all are excellent in seaside areas. Useful for late flowering. From South America, mainly from
Chilie. Many hybrids listed in various shades of pink. Pictures # 1593-1595.
SOUTHERN PERENNIALS - lists as an evergreen shrub to 15' with pink terminal racemes in autumn and glossy leaves. Rather slow
growing. Prefers shade and rich moist soil. Zones 8-11.
TIME LIFE - E. 'Fradesi' (pink princess escallonia); E. 'Jubilee' (Jubilee escallonia); E. montevidensis (Montevideo or white
escallonia); E. organensis (Organ Mountain escallonia)
Evergreen escallonias are widely grown in Southern California for their rich glossy foliage and for the 2-inch clusters
of flowers borne on the ends of branches intermittently throughout the year. Among the hybrids, two 4- to 6-foot
shrubs that are recommended for planting near foundations or in borders and informal hedges are the pink princess
escallonia, which is easily kept small by pruning and bears abundant rose-pink flowers in spring and summer, and
the Jubilee escallonia, noted for its compact bushy growth and its rich pink flowers, which bloom abundantly in
summer. Two other species can be pruned to grow into 15- to 25-foot trees with several trunks supporting wide
crowns of foliage and flowers, in about 10 to 15 years. The two are Montevideo escallonia, whose white flowers
bloom primarily in late summer and fall, and Organ Mountain escallonia, a densely branched plant that has coppery
green leaves and in early summer produces pink buds opening to white or blush pink blossoms.
Escallonias are hardy to Zone 10. They thrive in seaside areas, enduring heat and wind in direct sun or light shade in
almost any well-drained soil. Prune after the flowers fade to shape plants and to encourage the development of new
flower-bearing branches.

USDA HARDINESS ZONE RANGE: 1 to 11
SOUTHERN LIVING HEAT ZONE: LIGHT PREFERENCE: full sun
SOIL pH, moisture & fertility: pH Neutral, Well-drained, Moderately Rich, Average
Propagation: Seeds
REFERENCE NOTES:
HARDINESS: Hardy Annual. Native to California as the common name implies, this is a choice selection for naturalizing a
meadow garden as it self-sows readily. Flower production is better where nights are cool. Transplants can be set out several
weeks before the last frost date for an early jump on the growing season. Please note that older transplants can suffer some
shock, so you might want to seed directly into the garden site. Flowers look like that of the poppy and have a similar sheen
to their petals. Their colors vary from lavender to orange, pink, white and red. Effective as a mass planting or in the
summer border. 'Monarch Art Shades' is a stunning floral display. The 'Ballerina Series' of this species has frilly, double
flowers which bloom into the autumn and are quite lovely. Easy to grow!

Propagation: division in spring
REFERENCE NOTES:
Very similar to E. incarnatum. Has creeping underground stems and abundant seeding. Moist woods and meadows, stream
borders.
Often used in perennial gardens, becomes overplentiful. Found jn the wild in moist woods and meadows, stream borders,
Florida into SE and Cen Texas. Blooms July to October. Taylor calls it the most invasive of the genus. Cox only shows this
for zones 5-8, obviously not correct as it thrives in the wild in Florida. GC: This plant is a popular member of the
perennial family of plants. It grows rapidly in sandy loam to form a bushy, spreading clump which will be covered with soft
purple to lavender flowers from summer until fall. (Spreading may not be so rapid in heavier soils.) Mist Flower is sometimes
invasive so it is best to give this perennial plenty of room. Will do well in soils that are moist or well-drained and likes
full sun to partial shade. Niche Gardens sells for $4.50.

REFERENCE NOTES:
GC - This member of the Euphorbia family is excellent for Southeastern gardens as it can tolerate heat and humidity better
than its relatives. Foliage is gray-green and a perfect foil for the sulphur yellow flowers which can grow to 4 inches in
diameter. Myrtle Euphorbia is evergreen and has a trailing habit which makes an ideal container plant as well as a great
choice for windowbox gardening.
T & M - germination temp 70-75 F
LAWRENCE - The euphorbias are not happy in my heavy clay soil, however this evergreen species is the exception. It has
beautiful glaucous leaves in whorls along the decumbent stems, which produce masses of yellow flowers at their tips in
midspring. It requires a sunny site with good drainage and is best suited if left to seed around and find its own place.

REFERENCE NOTES:
HARDINESS: Half-hardy Annual. A slow-growing annual with deep green leaves and poppy-like flowers of usually pink, purple
or blue colors which appear in the summer. As a cut flower, it's hard to find one that lasts longer than this one; they have
been known to last for a month in water! This is not the easiest plant to grow from seed, but is certainly one of the most
rewarding. Seeds should be covered, placed in a polythene bag and kept at a temperature of 68-77 degrees. Transplant the
seedlings when they reach the three leaf stage as they do not like root disturbance. These plants are available in seedling
form from most nurseries, which will bring you flowers much quicker. Available in double-flowered forms in the "Echo Series"
of hybrids.
RODALES - Also known as Lisianthus. A biennial that acts like an annual. Very slow to start from seed, remaining quite
small as the roots grow. Need hot weather to flower. Can keep over winter and release next spring. Can be up to 3 feet
tall. Picture on page 134.

REFERENCE NOTES:
Nice ones in Espositos Nursery (12/26/94). Digest says will live in full sun or considerable shade. Tub plant or house plant
in colder climates. Can propagate by suckers. Can grow to 15 feet. F. j. moseri is smaller and more compact (to 6 feet).
F. j. var. has leaves edged in creamy white. Minimum temp. listed as 40 degrees (as a house plant). Schenk says to be sure
to give it plenty of space, can "puff up" to 15 by 15. He says can be grown in colder climates, but the but the freezing
might knock it back every few years and keep it smaller. GC: Excellent houseplant that grows into a beehive shape of up to

HOW ACQUIRED:: Tommy
GARDEN LOCATION/STATUS: AREA 13 Behind patio & right of waterfall
NOTE: Saw a plant at a nursery marked as Ficus pumila that was identical to one that Tommy gave me. I am assuming this is
the same plant.
Transplanted this from alongside driveway. Growing well here as of 9/20/95.
12/7/95 - this has spread like crazy and covered the limestone wall. I have taken some pieces and rooted along wall. Not
sure if it will be hardy thru the winter.
12/31/95 - seems to have survived the 20's temps just fine.
3/5/96 - damaged severly by teens temps, but is still alive.
2/10/97 - this has spread well and clinging to limestone
1998 summary - this has continued to spread vigorously and has completely covered the wall and spread beyond it.
1999 summary - same as above, great plant for covering wall.
