COMPOSITION AND CONDITION OF PERENNIAL HERBACEOUS FLOWER CROPS COLLECTION OF FRC SSC OF RAS

New species and cultivars of ornamental plants are being studied in the FRC SSC of RAS in order to expand the range and introduce them into the practice of ornamental gardening, as well as into the industrial cultivation of cut flower products in flower farms. The Centre’s collection of perennial herbaceous plants includes representatives of 8 families: Ranunculaceae, Xanthorrhoeaceae, Cannaceae, Paeoniaceae, Asparagaceae, Amaryllidaceae, Caryophyllaceae, Compositae. They include ornamental plants with a wide range of colours, diverse in shape, flowering terms, abundance and duration of flowering. By selecting plant groups from these collections that change each other in terms of flowering, you can get a flower-bed continuously and contemporaneously blooming from early spring till late autumn.
