The dominant landscaping practice of recent centuries has been to create landscapes designed with ornamental plants that have been introduced from other countries. This practice has been so pervasive that nonnative plant species now outnumber native
response for flowering of the cultivars has become important. Over the years, many sunflower cultivars have been classified as facultative SD plants ( Dyer et al., 1959 ; Hayata and Imaizumi, 2000 ; Yanez et al., 2005 ), but daylength-neutral and even
Willow is one of many genera suitable for field-grown woody floral cut-stem production ( Armitage and Laushman, 2003 ; Greer and Dole, 2008 ). Selection of ornamental willow species and cultivars for cut stems is based on desirable attributes such
of a specific cultivar is impossible when propagated by seeds. Asexual propagation is by far the most common and widely adopted method to propagate and maintain genetic integrity of ornamental plants in the nursery trade. Asexual propagation Asexual
composting animal tissue would need to provide compost characteristics that will enhance the sale of potted flowering plants. Processing methods need to be developed and studied as to what methods produce the best rooting medium. Using ATC as an ornamental
