HCS163 — Herbaceous Plants
Semester all Only Herbaceous Plants will focus on the identification and use of herbaceous plants found in our local environment. Perennials and annuals will be covered and will include grasses, groundcovers, wildflowers, ephemerals, vines, and ferns. For each species, students will discuss use, culture, native habitat, pest and disease considerations, and seasonal interest. Species for study will be selected based upon the season in which the course is and will include plants recommended for the Maryland Certified Professional Horticulturist (CPH) basic exam.
