The Landscape Plug™ Manual: Specifications, species selection, establishment

Spread over 2 acres, our multi-year plant trialing program features habitat and experimental gardens. Functional landscapes accentuate our products' performance under various site conditions. Guided by North Creek’s New Plant Principles, we evaluate ecological, functional and aesthetic characteristics of every plant we propagate. Collaboration and partnership with academia, botanists, entomologists, researchers, ecologists, and engineering, design, and restoration professionals validate our results.

Where Horticulture Meets Ecology™

Our commitment to social, economic and environmental stewardship drives our efforts to develop partnerships that connect people to more sustainable outdoor environments. As the industry leader in delivering plant solutions that are consistent, reliable and of a superior quality, our knowledge and experience have contributed to the success of thousands of landscape projects nationwide. The information we provide is based upon more than 20 years of real-world experience, extensive plant trials, critical evaluative feedback from customers and global collaboration with entities and individuals engaged in scientific research. At North Creek, we continually aim to improve our products and to expand our offerings of native forbs, grasses, ferns and vines, including the best cultivated varieties. Our appreciation for the current environment of certified and regulatory landscapes informs our commitment to sustainable growing practices and our promotion of rigorous ecological standards.

Navigating the Species Selection Chart

• Species arrangement follows a gradient from saturated to dry soil conditions• Species are grouped by light requirements within this gradient• Species listed close to each other are possible companion species

Proper species selection determines a project’s success. Knowing your project-specific soils, exposure, hydrology, existing vegetation and other key elements are crucial to choosing species that will quickly form stable plant communities and landscapes. Based on our plant knowledge and observations made within our trial gardens, we have developed this tool to focus on plant combinations and companion species. We hope this guide will assist you in selecting the perfect species mix for your project. Key elements of the species selection chart are explained below:

• Wetland indicator categories should not be equated to degrees of wetness• Regional Indicators express the estimated probability of a species occurring in wetlands versus non-wetlands in the region • Species Selection Chart is based on Region 1: Northeastern US• Visit http://plants.usda.gov/wetinfo.html for additional information

Height

Hardiness Zone

pH

• The average mature height is listed for each species • Heights may vary based on soil and hydrological conditions

• Based on USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map • Visit http://www.usna.usda.gov/Hardzone/ for additional information

• Optimal pH range for each species is based on USDA data• Maximum species development and health will occur within this range• pH levels falling outside the range indicated may impact overall development and susceptibility to pest and disease• Visit http://plants.usda.gov/ for additional information

Wetland Indicator Status (WIS)

Optimum growth will occur under full sun ( ), partial shade ( ), or full shade ( ) conditions

Spreads rapidly via rhizomes and/or stolons

Species has the ability to self-sow under optimal conditions

Cool season metabolism (C3), warm season metabolism (C4), ephemeral (EP)

Deer resistant

Salt tolerance; species listed will tolerate a varying degree of salinity

Erosion control via rhizomes, stolons, semi-evergreen basal leaves or fibrous roots

Site Preparation and Installation


Optimal installation times are dictated by a species’ metabolismDepending on temperature, most species will break winter dormancy in early springUtilizing North Creek’s recyclable wooden racks reduces transportation, labor and installation costs Landscape Plugs™ are easily removed from flats by handEach tray is labeled true to name, with backup species ID tags located below soil level When laying out, keep Landscape Plugs™ properly wateredRecommended tools for easy installation: auger (0 3''), small spade or hand trowel

Tamping soil around Landscape Plugs™ increases soil-root-contact and minimizes frost heavingInitial irrigation is essential to fill air holes around root systems with soilWarm season species need to be rooted-in prior to winter dormancy Installation rates vary based on site conditions and installation crew’s paceApply mulch prior to installation to save time and protect sensitive plant crownsAvoid site compaction to ensure Landscape Plug™ successMaintain site hydrologic functions + Low Impact Development Strategies Manual + Visit www.epa.gov/owow/NPS/lid for additional informationRecommendations for highly erodible landscapes: + Stabilize site with biodegradeable erosion control matting or by sowing a cover crop + Insert Landscape Plugs™ through erosion control layer + Integrate vernalized Landscape Plugs™ to stabilize soil more quickly + Appropriate species are indicated throughout the Species Selection Chart

Regular site and species monitoring is critical to ensure optimal plant health

Provide supplemental irrigation during severe drought

Monitor for invasive species and perform weed control

Irrigation, weeding, and mulching will lessen as Landscape Plugs™ mature

Stable soils should not require additional fertilizer

Cut back herbaceous species in late winter to early spring

Mow or burn larger Landscape Plug™ installations

Implement Integrated Pest Management practices + www.epa.gov/pesticides/factsheets/ipm.htm
