Welcome to the 2016 Michigan State University Plant Trials

Located in the MSU Horticulture Gardens East Lansing, Michigan

The MSU Horticulture Gardens have been designed and built based on the generous financial support of our horticulture industries, the general public, and our “Friends of the Garden”. We are proud to be a part of the MSU Department of Horticulture, considered to be one of the finest horticulture teaching, research, and extension facilities in the country. Most of the annual plant trials are located in the Amien and Florence Carter Annual Trial garden, which is arranged as a garden display.

The purpose of our trial gardens is to grow and evaluate new and sometimes old species and cultivars of a wide range of plants under our mid-Michigan climatic conditions. Our growing conditions here are characterized by cold winters (USDA Zone 5) and cool springs followed by warm, sometimes hot humid summers. Our last frost date is typically May 15, and night temperatures are consistently above 50 °F only after June 1.

2016 has been yet another interesting year with regards to weather. Spring conditions (April/May) where fairly normal, with temps and precipitation close to the historical average. However, we did have some unusually warm temperatures (mid-80’s) during late May. As we entered June, drought conditions gripped central Michigan. We typically receive 3.5” of rain in June; this year we received little more than half an inch! The drought conditions impacted planting season as our crew had to stop regularly to water the gardens. Drought conditions persisted well into July. At of the time of this writing (July 20th), we are still 1” behind our historical average for the month of July.

In the MSU trials, we rank performance every two weeks based on vigor, uniformity, and ornamental value of the flowers and/or foliage, depending on the plant. We also take note of susceptibility to diseases and insects, and tolerance to changes in climatic

conditions when appropriate. Plant performance depends on a number of factors including genetics, soil, and weather conditions. A summary of this evaluation information is posted on the web each year for professionals and the general gardening public. http://www.hrt.msu.edu/our_gardens/plant_trials

Traditionally, annual plants and tender perennials grown for a single season have been the primary focus of the plant trials. We include ornamentals and vegetables. We also are growing an expanded number of All American Selection (AAS) vegetables. These are growing in the Clarence Lewis Arboretum, south of the railroad tracks. Our ongoing native plant trials are located in beds just to the east of the Food Safety and Toxicology Building.

Seeds or young plants are typically submitted by breeders, seed companies, and nurseries. Plants are grown in our MSU greenhouses and transplanted into ground beds or containers starting in mid-May and completed this year in mid-June.

Companies are given the choice of whether they would prefer their plants to be grown in ground beds or in 22” containers. In the ground beds, plants are typically planted at 8” to 12” spacing depending on the species with generally about 24 plants per trial entry. Some entries perform remarkably better in containers than in the ground.

Funding to support our trials come mostly from plant breeding companies, Western Michigan Greenhouse Growers, and MSU Horticulture Garden-sponsored events. We are looking for additional sponsors as we continue to expand the scope and nature of our trial gardens.

We are also an official AAS trial location and a number of interesting new ornamentals and vegetables plants were tested in 2016 to help

establish the next round of All American winners! MSU was first selected as a site for the AAS trials in 1978. We also have many AAS vegetable varieties that are being trialed in the Vegetable Demonstration Garden in the Clancy E. Lewis Arboretum south of the railroad tracks.

All of these gardens are maintained by a dedicated staff housed in the Horticulture Department. Dan Bulkowski is the overall Garden Manager, Daedre McGrath is the Annual Trial Garden Manager, and Bethany Troy is the Perennial Garden Manager. All Trials are under the direction of Dr. Art Cameron, Professor of Horticulture and MSU Horticulture Garden Director.

If you have time, be sure and visit the Judy DeLapa Herbaceous Perennial Gardens, the 4-H Children’s Garden, and the C.E. Lewis Arboretum. Also be sure to check out our Weird and Wonderful Garden (located in the Vegetables and Insect Pollinators Garden),

featuring botanical oddities from around the world. We believe you will find many additional jewels if you further explore our MSU Horticulture Gardens. For a detailed map, see page 3, and for descriptions of all our gardens, please go to our website: http://www.hrt.msu.edu/our-gardens/

Thank you for visiting the MSU Horticulture Gardens!

2016 Summer Interns and Employees

The students have rocked again this summer! Each has spent long and tedious hours weeding, watering, and doing an endless number of garden tasks. They worked under wet and dry, hot and cold conditions this year – but returned each day to do it again. Thanks to their efforts, the gardens are once again looking great!

Michigan State University Plant Trials 2016 Cultural Information

Starting Material The majority of trial plants started from seeds were sown between March and April. Perennial flower seeds were started as early as January 18. Seeds were germinated in seed flats or plug trays in a greenhouse set at 75 °F D/N. Specific dates of seeding are given in the following trial tables. After appropriate growth, seedlings were transplanted to 4” containers or 1204 flats. Transplant dates are also given in the following tables.

Cloned plants were propagated by cuttings or tissue culture in commercial greenhouses. Rooted cuttings were shipped to MSU as plugs. Upon receipt, the rooted cuttings were transplanted immediately into 1801 flats. Most were received and transplanted between late-March and mid-April. Unrooted cuttings were stuck into flats of peat-lite soil mix and grown in a mist-house until roots emerged.

Greenhouse Conditions After transplanting, all seed and vegetative material were grown in glass greenhouses set at ~75 °F daytime and ~68 °F nighttime temperature until moved to the garden beds.

Plants were grown in peat-lite soil mix (2-B Mix generously donated by Fafard) and fertigated at every watering with 19-4-23 (125 ppm N) water soluble fertilizer. No PGRs were used on annuals evaluated in these trials. Container Plants Companies are given the choice of whether they would prefer their plants to be grown in containers, hanging baskets, or ground beds. When requested, plants were transplanted into 22” containers or

hanging baskets and held in the greenhouse for about 2 weeks before placing them outdoors between May 23 and May 27. Depending on the size of the transplant, containers/hanging baskets were planted with 7 (1801-size) to 10 (1204-size) plants.

Outdoor Ground Bed Management Fall 2015 – Cleanup, early bed preparation After removal of annuals in the fall, all beds were raked and cleaned. Typically, we add compost to all beds each fall. In 2015, we did not add compost due to soil test results revealing a very high (22-26%) organic matter content and optimal to supra-optimal N, P, and K levels in our soils.

Spring 2016 – Pre-planting activities Bed lines were marked and sprayed with Round-Up. All beds lines were hand cut. Round-Up was applied where necessary to control weeds before planting. Spring 2016 - Planting Schedule The majority of transplants were planted outdoors between May 31 and June 6. Typical plant spacing Plants are typically planted at 8” to 12” on center depending on the species. We typically plant at least 24 plants per trial entry in landscaped beds. Due to space restraints, fewer plants were used for vegetable trials.

Summer Maintenance Watering All beds and containers were hand watered as needed. Due to hot conditions and drought during June and part of July, beds and containers were sometimes watered on a daily basis. Fertilization Ground beds were fertigated every 2 to 3 weeks with a 19-4-23 (250 ppm N) water soluble fertilizer starting mid-summer. Petunia and Calibrachoa varieties were treated approximately every 2 weeks with Jack’s Petunia FEed, a high-acid fertilizer, used to combat the effects of increasing media pH during the growing season.

Weeding All beds were hand weeded and cultivated as needed until plants filled in. With the hot weather this summer, the garden staff and volunteers will both acknowledge that the weeds have been particularly aggressive, purslane in particular! Long hours of hand weeding were required to keep the beds looking good. Volunteers helped a great deal on this tedious task. Insect and Disease control No treatments were given this year for insect or disease control in the annual gardens. Other than typical damage from Japanese beetles, relatively few troublesome insects or diseases were noted this year thus far.

Hanging baskets The gorgeous hanging baskets seen throughout our gardeners were generously provided by Four Star Greenhouses, Carleton, Michigan Potting Soil For this growing season, all of the potting soil used in our greenhouses and for our outdoor containers was generously donated by Fafard http://fafard.com/
