Horticulture II - Landscape Unit B Landscape Design Objective 3.01 Recognize plants based on use Plant Names Botanical name – the scientific name of plants, which includes genus and species in Latin Example: Acer rubrum Common name – regional, non-Latin name often used by industry persons and lay people Example: Red Maple Plant Categories (based on use) Tree – any woody perennial plant which normally has one well-defined stem and a definitely formed crown. It is usually considered to have a minimum mature height of 15’ Shrub – a plant that has persistent woody stems and a relatively low growth habit, and that generally produces several basal shoots instead of a single trunk; differs from trees by its low stature and non-tree form Herbaceous perennial – plants such as hosta and iris with soft, succulent stems whose tops are killed back by frost in many temperate and colder climates, but whose roots and crowns remain alive and send out top growth when favorable growing conditions return Ground cover – any of many different low growing plants, usually perennials, which grow well on sites on which grass does not thrive; such as banks, terraces, shady areas, etc. Plant Identification Everyone will be responsible for the following information from each category, plant list for Horticulture II – Landscape to follow Trees Shrubs Botanical name, common name, identifying features (location, shape, size, color, leaves, buds, bark, flowers, fruit) Herbaceous perennials Botanical name, common name, identifying features (location, shape, size, color, leaves, buds, bark, flowers , fruit) Botanical name, common name, identifying features (location, shape, size, color, leaves, buds, flowers, fruit) Ground covers Botanical name, common name, identifying features (location, shape, size, color, leaves buds, flowers, fruit) Plant ID List – Horticulture II – Landscape Trees Acer palmatum Japanese maple Acer rubrum Red maple Betula nigra River birch Cornus florida Flowering dogwood Cornus kousa Chinese dogwood Ilex x attenuate ‘Fosteri’ Fosteri holly Lagerstromeia indica Crape myrtle Plant ID List – Horticulture II – Landscape Trees Liquidambar styraciflua cv. ‘Rotundiloba’ Magnolia grandiflora Prunus serrulata ‘Kwanzan’ Pyrus calleryana ‘Bradford’ Quercus phellos Zelkova serrata Fruitless sweetgum Southern magnolia Kwanzan cherry Bradford pear Willow oak Zelkova Plant ID List – Horticulture II – Landscape Shrubs Aucuba japonica Aucuba Buddleia davidii Butterfly bush Camellia japonica Common (Japanese) camellia Camellia sasanqua Sasanqua camellia X Cupressocyparis leylandii Leyland cypress Euonymus japonicas Japanese euonymus Gardenia jasminoides ‘Radicans’ Dwarf gardenia Plant ID List – Horticulture II – Landscape Shrubs Hydrangea macrophylla Bigleaf hydrangea Ilex x attenuate ‘Fosteri’ Fosteri holly Ilex cornuta ‘Burfordi Nana’ Dwarf Burford holly Ilex crenata ‘Helleri’ Helleri holly Ilex crenata ‘Sky Pencil’ Sky Pencil holly Ilex vomitoria ‘Nana’ Dwarf yaupon holly Ligustrum japonicum Ligustrum (Japanese Privet) Plant ID List – Horticulture II – Landscape Shrubs Loropetalum chinense Loropetalum Myrica cerifera Wax myrtle Nandina domestica Heavenly bamboo/standard nandina Prunus laurocerasus ‘Otto Luyken’ Otto Luyken laurel Rhaphiolepis spp. Indian Hawthorn Rhododendron spp. (azalea) Azalea Thuja occidentalis Arborvitae (American arborvitae) Plant ID List – Horticulture II – Landscape Herbaceous Perennials Astilbe cv.
