ethylene, thereby enhancing branching ( Srivastava, 2002 ). PGRs are regularly applied in commercial ornamental plant production to improve the ornamental and aesthetic characteristics of plants, including stem length and branching ( Gent and McAvoy, 2000
There is increased interest among ornamental plant growers to identify native shrubs that can be produced commercially for the nursery and landscape industry. Native shrubs must propagate readily from stem cuttings because this method yields uniform
Red firespike is a vigorous ornamental shrub growing to ≈1.8 m in height ( Daniel and McDade, 1995 ). Red firespike has an upright growth habit and is commonly cultivated as an ornamental plant in the garden due to its attractive tubular red flowers
effects of supplemental irrigation and fertilization on the landscape performance of nine ornamental grasses and to determine if fertilizer formulation (organic vs. synthetic) affected plant growth. Materials and methods Sites. Full sun trial gardens were
profile. To insure that excess fertilizer is not applied to landscapes, accurate and specific fertilizer recommendations for ornamental plants are needed. Previous research has suggested that the range of appropriate annual N fertilizer rates for producing
, 2006 ). Some advantages connected with implementation of RFID traceability systems in ornamental shrubs could be suggested by digital urban garden management for plant monitoring ( Luchi et al., 2008 ; Vai, 2005 ), rationalizing protection treatments

rate did not affect the aesthetic quality of plants. Despite the limited amount of research on annual bedding plant response to N fertilization in the landscape, general N rate recommendations for field-grown ornamentals exist in the literature. For
greenhouse ornamental crops is commercially acceptable when the plants receive a DLI of 10 mol·m −2 ·d −1 ( Holcombe et al., 2001 ). Therefore, the goal would be to identify hanging basket arrangements that allow 10 mol·m −2 ·d −1 , on average, to be
Woody ornamental nurseries in the southeastern United States are diverse agroecosystems, where plants from dozens of species and genera may be grown in adjacent blocks or container yards. The diversity within the nursery results in an array of
