County Project SOUND – 2015 (our 11th year) © Project SOUND Heavenly Heucheras: gardening with our lovely native Coral Bells C.M. Vadheim and T. Drake CSUDH & Madrona Marsh Preserve Madrona Marsh Preserve December 5 & 10, 2015 The genus Heuchera In the Saxifrage Family All from the Americas (N./Central) Commonly called ‘Coral Bells’ (for the flowers) and ‘Alumroots’ (for their astringent, alum-like roots) Similar in appearance Leaves round to heart-shaped with long petioles Basel rosette/mound Small, bell-shaped flowers on wand-like stalk Hybridize widely in the wild – and in the garden © Project SOUNDhttp://plants.usda.gov/gallery/large/hepu9_001_lvd.jpg The Saxifrages - Family Saxifragaceae © Project SOUND http://montana.plant-life.org/families/Saxifragaceae.htm Name: ‘stone-breaker’ Most grow either in alpine/arctic areas or in moist, shady forests ~775 known species in 48 genera; taxonomy – difficult, contentious Most herbaceous perennials/small shrubs Flowers perfect (bisexual) with 4 or 5 petals and 5 or 10 stamens. Floral symmetry – radial (star-shaped) Many used medicinally Many are garden favorites, particularly for rock/crevice gardens or for shade http://www.digilibraries.com/html_ebooks/106887/18913/www.digi libraries.com@18913@18913-h@images@img274.jpg

12/11/2015 2 The Saxifrages -
Family Saxifragaceae Mostly Northern Hemisphere: centers of diversity in the Himalayas, East Asia, and Western North America. The greatest diversity in the Pacific Northwest of North America Two lineages: ‘saxifroides’ - true Saxifrages (arctic/alpine) ‘heucheroids’ – all the rest © Project SOUND CA genera (all ‘heucheroids’): Boykinia Heuchera Tellima Saxifragaceae – genetic analysis gives evidence of an old family Saxifragaceae began to diversify ~38.37 million years ago (Mya; 95% HPD = 30.99–46.11 Mya) in the Mid- Late Eocene The two major lineages, the heucheroids and saxifragoids, began to diversify ~30.04 Mya (95% HPD = 23.87–37.15 Mya) and 30.85 Mya (95% HPD = 23.47–39.33 Mya), respectively. Several geographic radiations within Saxifragaceae: one in eastern Asia and multiple radiations in western North America. © Project SOUND © Project SOUND Heucheras Saxifrage (and Heuchera) paleobotany Began in Late Oligocene Warmer temperature Much more humid (less water tied up in polar ice) Survived the Quaternary to the present ‘Ice Age’ conditions – several glacial and inter-glacial periods Over-all temperatures are cooler Overall drier conditions © Project SOUND

12/11/2015 3 © Project SOUND The
genus Heuchera – Coral Bells All have palmately lobed leaves on long petioles and a thick, woody rootstock. Grow in varied habitats There is an extensive array of blossom sizes, shapes, and colors, foliage types, and geographic tolerances. Make good garden plants Gardeners and horticulturists have developed a multitude of hybrids between various Heuchera and related species. © 2004, Ben Legler The genus Heuchera Taxonomy - difficult until now Few morphologic characters with sufficient variability Small flowers Inter-breeding between populations Much variability even within populations Unusual geographic distributions Numbers of accepted species have vacillated between 27 (Rosendahl, 1905) and 72 (Rydberg, 1905), with extensive revisions through the years. Currently n = 43 © Project SOUND http://www.bonap.org/Most%20Number%20of%20Native%20Species/ Native%20Species%20per%20Genus.html What does this geographic distribution suggest? Taxonomy of the Heucheras 1840 - Torrey and Gray, first proposed sections 1905 - Rydberg created unranked names that were afterwards interpreted as subsections (validated at that rank in the 1930s by Engler). 1936 - Rosendahl, Butters, and Lakela (last genus monograph) combined these categories into a system of sections and subsections that has been used by later workers. Their sections, largely based on the Torrey and Gray system, have proved artificial. 1984 - arrangement of the eastern species improved by E.F. Wells. 2014 - taxonomy realigned on the basis of combined DNA and morphology (Folk & Freudenstein, 2014; American Journal of Botany). 2015 - three sections, a tentative fourth, with two species that still could not be placed confidently. © Project SOUND Per Axel Rydberg - (1860-1931) http://sciweb.nybg.org/science2/libr/f inding_guide/rydberg.asp.html Ryan A. Folk https://sites.google.com/site/ryanheuchera/aboutme Phylogenomics (phylogeny + genomics) Phylogeny: the study of the evolution of taxonomic groups Genomics: the use of modern DNA analysis to study the structure and function of genes Phylogenomics: a rapidly developing field that uses broad sampling of genetic regions across the genome in order to infer an estimate of the "tree of life" for a set of species. Four major areas fall under phylogenomics: Prediction of gene function Establishment and clarification of evolutionary relationships Gene family evolution Prediction and retracing lateral gene transfer. © Project SOUND "CollapsedtreeLabels-simplified" by Original uploader was User:TimVickers, SVG conversion by User:User_A1 - Own work (Original text: Self made.).

Became known as the "Rancho Santa Ana hybrids". Breeding program continues. The hybrids inherited their large stature and tall flowering stems from Heuchera maxima while getting larger indidual flower size and darker colors from Heuchera sanguinea. Exibited hybrid vigor, making them great garden plants. In the garden, they are essentially treated like H. maxima: shade and some summer water. © Project SOUNDhttp://www.monrovia.com/plant-catalog/plants/3389/santa-ana-cardinal- coral-bells/ Heuchera 'Genevieve' Introduced in 1974; named after the wife of Percy Everett, who was the garden horticulturalist at the time Dark green leaves that have silvery markings with magenta flowers.

Seeds are tiny – don’t worry about removing all the chaff Ideal growing medium: 1:1 seed starter mix and vermiculite or perlite. Moisten until damp. Sprinkle seeds thinly – don’t over-seed. Water with fine mist Cover pot(s) with clear plastic bag Keep moist in bright shade Be careful to not damage root when repotting © Project SOUND http://www.hazmac.biz/041018/041018HeucheraCaespitosa.html The quest for the perfect dainty hybrid In the 1980s Dara Emory (Santa Barbara Botanic Garden) used small montane species native to California crossed with Heuchera sanguinea The results became known as the "Canyon hybrids“ ‘Canyon Delight’ and ‘Canyon Pink’ were the first products of Dara Emery’s breeding program to develop small-leafed, compact coral bells with showy flowers. Both are F1 crosses of H. elegans and a H. sanguinea hybrid. © Project SOUND https://www.sbbg.org/classes-events/lectures-symposia/dara-emery-2015 Heuchera ‘Canyon Pink’ Low growing with gray mottled lobed leaves. Flowers are a rose pink with lighter centers and the bloom period occurs in the spring and summer. Created by Dara Emery; introduced by the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden in 1985. This was the first of the gardens Heuchera introductions and remains as one of the best. Heuchera sanguinea X H. rubescens. Several of the more recent Quartet Series such as H. 'Canyon Melody', H. 'Canyon Duet' and H. 'Canyon Chimes' have 'Canyon Pink' as one parent. © Project SOUND http://www.smgrowers.com/products/plants/plantdispla y.asp?plant_id=834

The best were introduced by Santa Barbara Botanic Garden. Dozens of beautiful hybrids which combined the dense, small hummocks of the natives with flower colors ranging from white to deep, rosy pink. All have smaller flowers than H. sanguinea, but usually many more Do well in gardens given shade and regular water © Project SOUND ‘Canyon Chimes’ – a later hybrid https://www.sbbg.org/learn-discover/gardening-with-natives/sbbg-cultivars Heuchera ‘Canyon Quartet Series’ Dara Emery hybrids created in 1993; released by the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden after Mr. Emery's death.
