Garden Glossary

For those of you who are new to gardening, here's some help with the terminology
 

Damping Off
Any of a number of fungal diseases which attack seedlings, causing the stem to wither at the soil line, collapsing the plant. There is no good cure for affected plants, but any remaining plants can be saved by removing all the diseased material and moving the seedlings to a warm, bright, airy location. Proper thinning and avoidance of over watering, especially during cloudy periods is the best preventive measure.

Daylily, Evergreen
Evergreen and Semi-evergreen daylily varieties keep their leaves throughout the winter in warmer areas. These daylilies retain thier attractive leaves down to -8C. At -20C, top growth may die back, but roots are hardy.

Daylily, Reblooms
One or more flushes of flowers follow later in the same summer, especially in warmer climates.

Determinate
Plant growth habit in which stems stop growing at a certain height and produce a flower cluster at the tip. Determinate tomatoes are short, early, have a concentrated fruit set and do not require staking.

Dioecious
Having male and female sex organs on separate plants.

Double, Semi-Double
A flower with more than the normal number of petals, sepals or florets; in some cases petals or staminodes may replace stamens. A double form may be designated botanically by flore pleno, plena or pleniflora.
