3 Welcome to the 2017 Michigan State University 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. Spring and early summer conditions this year have been fairly normal, with temps and precipitation close to the historical average. However, we did have a handful of unusually warm days (mid-80 s) during mid-may as well as higher than normal temperatures (mid- 80 s to low-90s) during the first half of June. After last year s June drought, we are happy to have a more typical early-summer here in East Lansing. 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. 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. Seeds or young plants are typically submitted by breeders, seed companies, and nurseries. s are grown in our MSU greenhouses and transplanted into ground beds or containers starting in mid-may and completed this year in early-june. Companies are given the choice of whether they would prefer their plants to be grown in ground beds, hanging baskets, 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 All American Selections (AAS) trial location and a number of interesting new ornamental plants were tested in 2017 to help establish the next round of All American winners! MSU was first selected as a site for the AAS trials in 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, MSU Horticulture Garden Director. Page 1

4 If you have time, be sure and visit the Judy DeLapa Herbaceous Perennial Gardens, the 4-H Children s Garden, and the Clarence E. Lewis Arboretum. Also be sure to check out our Aphrodisiac Garden (located in the Vegetables and Insect Pollinators Garden), featuring plants to spice up your life! We are also carrying out a study of over 80 succulent varieties for use in Michigan gardens. Our goal is to identify varieties that tolerate outdoor growing conditions and grow quickly enough to hold their own as annuals. We believe you will find many additional jewels if you further explore our MSU Horticulture Gardens.

10 2017 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!

We couldn t do it without them! Page 8

11 Michigan State University Trials 2017 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 31. 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 either 1204 or 1801 flats. 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. s were grown in peat-lite soil mix (2-B Mix generously donated by Fafard) and fertigated at every watering with (125 ppm N) water soluble fertilizer. No PGRs were used on annuals evaluated in these trials. Container s 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 25. Depending on the size of the transplant, containers/hanging baskets were planted with 7 (1801-size) to 10 (1204-size) plants. Container vegetable trials were planted with 3 to 4 plants per container. Outdoor Ground Bed Management Fall 2016 Cleanup, early bed preparation After removal of annuals last fall, all beds were raked and cleaned. Typically, we add compost to all beds each fall. In 2016, 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 2017 Pre-planting activities Bed lines were marked and hand cut. Round-Up was applied where necessary to control weeds before planting. Spring ing Schedule The majority of transplants were planted outdoors between May 31 and June 6. Typical plant spacing s 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. Page 9

12 Michigan State University Trials 2017 Cultural Information - continued Summer Maintenance Watering All beds and containers were hand watered as needed, sometimes on a daily basis. Fertilization Ground beds were fertigated every 2 to 3 weeks with a (250 ppm N) water soluble fertilizer starting mid-summer. Container trials received an application of Osmocote fertilizer early in the season, then were fertigated on the same schedule as the ground beds for the remainder of the season. Petunia and Calibrachoa varieties were treated approximately every 2 weeks with Jack s Petunia FEed, a highacid 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 Page 10
