#VirtualEvent - What about #cultivars? Are they good, are they bad, how do I know?
What is a “#nativar”? Where do cultivars even come from? And how do I make the right choices at the garden center?
"These are some of the top questions we get when talking about what plants to bring into our growing spaces. Join us for an engaging conversation with a panel of researchers who are teasing out the layered interactions of garden plants and the larger #EcologicalWeb. Jen Hayes, of the Oregon State University Garden Ecology Lab, studies visitation rates by #pollinators to cultivars and wild-type natives. Sam Hoadley co-directs the trial garden at Mt. Cuba Center, evaluating native plants and their cultivars for horticultural and ecological value. Daniel Park is a professor at Purdue University, studying evolutionary history and plant diversity. And our own Seed Stewardship Director, Emily Baisden, conducted research on herbivores’ use of cultivars. We are thrilled to bring these thought leaders together in one (virtual) room!
Community Education Manager Caitlin Marshall will moderate a discussion of cultivars in our landscapes, integrating questions from participants. Bring your curiosity; it should be a lively conversation!
Please register to join us. A zoom link to the webinar will be emailed to you upon registration.

Did you know that despite its name - #JapaneseAnemone - that this pretty #perennial #plant isn't actually from Japan?
It was introduced there, hundreds of years ago & became naturalized. It is actually native to China, #Taiwan & #Vietnam.
It's been cultivated in gardens, worldwide.Hundreds of years ago, a form of E. hupehensis with smaller, semi-double flowers & pink sepals escaped cultivation and spread across #China to #Japan & #Korea. After finding this form in a #Shanghai graveyard in 1843, the plant explorer/ #botanist Robert Fortune sent it home to England where it became known as E. japonica, the Japanese anemone. European #horticulturists crossed the Japanese anemone with E. vitifolia to produce #cultivars of the artificial hybrid E. × hybrida.

Resource-acquisitive strategy of #crops is largely due to the inheritance from their wild progenitors rather than to further #breeding improvements. Thus, early #human #selection of crops’ wild progenitors explains the acquisitive physiology of modern #cultivars:

#OTD Victor #Lemoine, #French #Flower #Breeder, died.Incredibly, Lemoine didn't start working on #Lilacs - his #Greatest #Legacy - until he was almost 50. He made them #Bloom earlier & later, expanded the #Color, & grew the first #Double #Lilac.
His #Wife, Marie, #HandPollinated thousands of Lilac #Flowers.
When the Lemoine #Nursery closed in 1968, the Lemoine's had bred 214 new #Cultivars of
