RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Landscape performance of 3 Polygonella wildflower species native to Florida JF Native Plants Journal JO NATIVE PLANTS JOURNAL FD University of Wisconsin Press SP 239 OP 247 DO 10.3368/npj.19.3.239 VO 19 IS 3 A1 Thetford, Mack A1 O’Donoughue, Alison E A1 Wilson, Sandra B A1 Pérez, Hector E YR 2018 UL http://npj.uwpress.org/content/19/3/239.abstract AB Largeleaf jointweed (Polygonella macrophylla Small), October flower (Polygonella polygama (Vent. Engelm. & A. Gray), and sandhill wireweed (Polygonella robusta (Small) G.L. Neson & V.M. Bates) are wildflowers of the Polygonaceae that exhibit good form and showy flower displays within their natural growing environments. Softwood cuttings of each Polygonella species were collected from natural areas in Florida and produced in standard #1 (3.7 l) containers to evaluate the establishment, growth, and flowering of the 3 species within 3 distinct growing regions of Florida. Plants of each species produced from cuttings were evaluated in common-garden landscape trials located in north (Milton), central (Gainesville), and south (Fort Pierce) Florida. All 3 Polygonella species outplanted successfully at each location, and survival exceeded 80% within 28 wk after planting. Flower impact, visual quality, and growth of each species varied by location and time, with peak performance occurring in November.
