OSTI ID:5476396
Thirty-two species in the genera Asclepias, Aster, Bidens, Coreopsis, Chrysopsis, Eupatorium, Echinacea, Helenium, Helianthus, Lobelia, Rudbeckia, Solidago, and Vernonia were propagated by seed from wild populations in eastern Tennessee. Seed were collected at dispersal in the fall, preliminary dormancy and germination tests conducted, and seed treated in accordance with test results to obtain greenhouse germinants. Seed were sown in late February on MetroMix in Rootrainers and transplanted to an irrigated nursery in early May. Survival was over 90%, and all but one species flowered and seeded abundantly during the first season. Observations of growth habit, flowering, and seed dispersal were recorded.
