    From $299 USD
    View details

    Description

    Rudbeckia amplexicaulis, commonly known as the clasping coneflower, is a perennial plant that belongs to the Asteraceae family. This species is native to the eastern and central regions of North America and is recognized for its distinctive yellow flowers and unique foliage. Understanding the characteristics and cultivation requirements of Rudbeckia amplexicaulis can enhance its integration into a garden setting.

    One of the notable features of Rudbeckia amplexicaulis is its growth habit. This plant typically reaches a height of 2 to 3 feet and produces flowers that are approximately 2 to 3 inches in diameter. The flowers are characterized by their bright yellow petals that surround a prominent, dark brown central cone. The foliage is lanceolate and clasping, which gives the plant its common name. The leaves can grow up to 6 inches long and are arranged alternately along the stem.

    In terms of cultivation, Rudbeckia amplexicaulis thrives in well-drained soils and prefers full sun to partial shade. It is important to note that this species is drought-tolerant once established, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance gardens. The ideal soil pH for optimal growth ranges from 6.0 to 7.0. Regular watering during the initial establishment phase is recommended, but overwatering should be avoided to prevent root rot.

    Rudbeckia amplexicaulis is also known for its resilience against pests and diseases. This hardiness contributes to its popularity among gardeners seeking sustainable and low-maintenance options. However, it is advisable to monitor for common pests such as aphids and spider mites, which can occasionally affect the plant. Implementing integrated pest management strategies can help mitigate these issues.

    In terms of propagation, Rudbeckia amplexicaulis can be easily grown from seeds or divisions. Seeds should be sown in the spring or fall, and germination typically occurs within 14 to 30 days under optimal conditions. For division, it is recommended to separate the plants every 3 to 4 years to maintain vigor and prevent overcrowding.

    In addition to its aesthetic appeal, Rudbeckia amplexicaulis serves as an important ecological resource. The flowers attract a variety of pollinators, including bees and butterflies, which contribute to the overall health of the garden ecosystem. Furthermore, the plant's seeds provide food for birds during the winter months, enhancing biodiversity in the garden.

    In conclusion, Rudbeckia amplexicaulis is a versatile and resilient perennial that can add significant value to any garden. Its striking flowers, low maintenance requirements, and ecological benefits make it an ideal choice for both novice and experienced gardeners. By understanding its growth habits and cultivation needs, gardeners can successfully incorporate this species into their landscapes, promoting both beauty and sustainability.

It has a positive effect when used to treat bronchitis and respiratory infections, especially where there is excessive mucous production. Hyssop can irritate the mucous membranes, so it is best given after an infection has peaked, when the herb's tonic action encourages a general recovery. The plant should not be used by pregnant women, however, since in large quantities it can induce a miscarriage. The leaves and flowering tops are antiseptic, antitussive, astringent, carminative, diaphoretic, emmenagogue, expectorant, pectoral, sedative, stimulant, stomachic, tonic and vasodilator. The plant can be harvested when in full flower and dried for later use. A tea made from the leaves is used in the treatment of flatulence, stomach-aches, upper respiratory tract infections, coughs in children etc. A poultice made from the fresh herb is used to heal wounds. The essential oil is used in aromatherapy. Its keyword is 'Stability'. This oil should not be used on people who are highly strung as it can cause epileptic symptoms. The essential oil should not be used internally except under professional supervision." SOURCE

                Lettuce - Kagraner Sommer (Butterhead)

                From $299 USD
                View details

                Description

                The Kagraner Sommer lettuce, also known as Summer Lettuce, is a popular variety among gardeners due to its adaptability and ease of cultivation. This lettuce type is characterized by its crisp texture and mild flavor, making it an excellent choice for salads and garnishes. The plant typically reaches a height of 12 to 18 inches and produces large, loose heads that can weigh up to 1 pound each.

                One of the key advantages of the Kagraner Sommer lettuce is its resistance to bolting, which is a common issue in many lettuce varieties during warmer months. This trait allows gardeners to extend their growing season, as the plant can thrive in temperatures ranging from 60°F to 75°F (15°C to 24°C). In fact, studies have shown that this variety can maintain optimal growth even when daytime temperatures exceed 80°F (27°C), making it suitable for summer gardening.

                When planting Kagraner Sommer lettuce, it is essential to choose a location that receives full sun for at least six hours a day. The soil should be well-draining and rich in organic matter, with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0. To enhance growth, it is advisable to incorporate compost or well-rotted manure into the soil prior to planting. This practice not only improves soil fertility but also promotes healthy root development.

                In terms of spacing, seedlings should be planted approximately 12 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth. Regular watering is crucial, especially during dry spells, as lettuce has a high water content and requires consistent moisture to prevent wilting. It is recommended to water the plants deeply once or twice a week, depending on weather conditions.

                Harvesting Kagraner Sommer lettuce can begin approximately 60 to 70 days after sowing. The leaves can be picked individually or the entire head can be harvested at once. It is important to harvest in the morning when temperatures are cooler, as this helps to preserve the crispness and flavor of the leaves. Once harvested, the lettuce should be stored in a cool, dark place and consumed within a week for optimal freshness.

                In conclusion, the Kagraner Sommer lettuce is an excellent addition to any garden, particularly for those looking to grow a reliable and flavorful summer crop. With proper care and attention to growing conditions, gardeners can enjoy a bountiful harvest of this nutritious leafy green.

                      Marvel of Four Seasons lettuce plant, also known as Lactuca sativa, is a popular variety of lettuce that is highly sought after by gardeners and salad enthusiasts. This unique lettuce variety is known for its beautiful red and green leaves, making it a visually appealing addition to any garden or salad bowl.

                      Marvel of Four Seasons lettuce is a cool-season crop that thrives in mild climates and can be grown in both spring and fall. It is a loose-leaf lettuce variety, which means that the leaves grow in a loose, open head rather than forming a tight, compact head like other lettuce varieties.

                      One of the key features of Marvel of Four Seasons lettuce is its exceptional taste. The leaves have a delicate, buttery flavor with a slight hint of bitterness, making it a versatile ingredient in salads, sandwiches, and wraps. Its crisp texture adds a refreshing crunch to any dish.

                      Growing Marvel of Four Seasons lettuce is relatively easy, making it a great choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners.

                      When planting Marvel of Four Seasons lettuce, it is important to sow the seeds thinly and cover them with a thin layer of soil. The seeds should be spaced about 6 inches apart to allow room for the plants to grow. It is recommended to provide the plants with partial shade to protect them from excessive heat.

                      Harvesting Marvel of Four Seasons lettuce is a rewarding experience. The leaves can be harvested individually as needed or the entire plant can be harvested at once. To harvest the leaves, simply cut them off at the base using a sharp knife or scissors. The plant will continue to produce new leaves, allowing for multiple harvests throughout the growing season.

                      Marvel of Four Seasons lettuce is not only a delicious and visually appealing addition to your garden, but it is also packed with nutritional benefits. It is a good source of vitamins A and K, as well as folate and fiber. Adding this lettuce variety to your diet can contribute to a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
