The
rhizomatous Elymus employed a variety of morphological responses both apparently to forage for local nutrient patches and to penetrate and circumvent root systems of different barrier species.
Efforts to introgress the
rhizomatous trait into new germplasm combinations have continued.
Of the 23 species with a frequency of occurrence [greater than]10% in these plots, 19 were perennials and 15 were
rhizomatous (Table 2).
Technical note: Field measurement of etiolated tiller growth of
rhizomatous grasses.
Only two other
rhizomatous species were recorded in the incubations: Linnaea borealis and Calamagrostis lapponica, but in very low densities.
As a general rule, neither do they need much in the way of pruning - but be warned, they do run, especially the
rhizomatous varieties which look most naturalised in British gardens.
It spreads by means of its strong
rhizomatous roots and soon forms large clumps, up to 2m (6ft) in height.
Active Formica mounds often develop a distinctive cover of the strongly
rhizomatous grasses Muhlenbergia richardsonis and M.
Plant life-form should also affect the spatial pattern of biomass on the landscape, with bunchgrasses forming more concentrated locations of biomass than
rhizomatous grasses.
There are a good number of hybrids available of this
rhizomatous perennial, reminiscent of smaller spikes and flowers of Gladioli.
Vigor ratings were based on visual estimates of the amount of fall growth, density of tillering, and plant diameter, or for
rhizomatous species, plant spread.
Other bulbous and
rhizomatous plants can take up the baton.
