ORNAMENTAL WOODY PLANTS RECOMMENDED FOR CREATING AN ALL-SEASON FLOWER GARDEN

The paper presents the woody plants assortment, recommended for creating an exposition called “All-season flower garden” in the central European part of Russia. It includes 64 names and 47 species, selected in the Main Botanical Garden of the Russian Science Academy. The recommended plants allow us to create decorative compositions that ensure continuity of flowering, which in different species occurs at different times. The first stage of work on creating the exhibition was launched in 2011. Over the past years, a large number of new woody plant species were obtained and studied, so the most decorative, resistant to pests and diseases and climatic conditions have enriched new collections and expositions.
