Abstract

In our country's conditions, most herbaceous and deciduous ornamental plants lose their ornamental qualities during the cold season, and the landscape becomes dreary. In these circumstances, the group of evergreen ornamental plants, also known as evergreens, provides color and texture in landscaping due to their leaves that remain green throughout the year. Although the concept of an "evergreen" garden often brings conifers to mind, in landscape design, the association of species belonging to a single plant group is avoided due to visual monotony. Therefore, in this type of permanently green garden, and not only, the combination of conifers with other groups of species with persistent foliage (deciduous trees and shrubs, evergreen herbaceous perennials, succulents) is essential. Based on these considerations, our work aims to create landscaping solutions that include this variety.
