| Abstract/Contents: | "Euonymus (Euonymus fortunei colorata Rehd.), English ivy (Hedera helix L.), and pachysandra (Pachysandra terminalis Sub. & Zucc.), were evaluated for their capability to produce a mat of ground cover plants in sod-like configuration. Euonymus and English ivy produced a satisfactory product in 12 weeks while pachysandra required 16 weeks. Of 7 media evaluated with English ivy as the test plant, pine bark mulch, peatmoss-perlite, and Metro Mix 300 were judged superior in transportability, overall quality and landscape acceptance to peatmoss-Haydite-perlite, peatmoss-Haydite, peatmoss-sand, and hardwood bark. Euonymus and English ivy sods in pine bark mulch and peatmoss-perlite media were evaluated for landscape establishment. Both species rooted into the soil and established without appreciable loss 6 months after transplanting into the field." |
