Abstract

The assortment and condition of flower beds at the Soborniy district of Dnipro city were researched. 513 flower beds were identified on the territory of 18 objects (10 streets, 4 boulevards and 4 park zones). 151 flower beds, 21 ridges, 322 containers, 5 mixborders, 7 borders, 1 rockery, 6 near-barrel tree circle decorated with flowers were identified. The total area of flower beds is 7844.3 m2 , of which almost 80 % falls on flower beds, about 10 % - on ridges, other types of flower beds make up an insignificant part. The assortment of flowering plants is represented by 15 species of annuals and 33 species of perennials. The leaders in the frequency of use in flower beds among annuals can be called brilliant salvia, marigolds erect and rejected, hybrid petunia, ever-flowering begonia. Garden roses, irises, stonecrops, hosts, perennial heliopsis prevail among perennial flowers. Analysis of the flower beds condition showed that landscaping objects located on boulevards look best. More than half of them are in good condition, the rest are in satisfactory condition. Flower gardens located in parks and squares are in poor condition. Only 5,7 % of flower beds were found in good condition - mainly on the territory of Shevchenko Park. Almost 40 % of flower beds are in poor condition, often completely overgrown with weeds. The flower beds located in the highways are also in most unsatisfactory condition due to the lack of regular professional care. Marigolds, ever-flowering begonia, hybrid petunia, rock alyssum retain the best condition among annuals by the end of the season. The most decorative during the season among perennials remained various types of sedum and hosta lancifolia. It is undesirable to use plants that quickly lose their decorative effect: irises, perennial heliopsis, whitewashed cornflower. Combined flower beds look best with the involvement of annual and perennial flowering plants, as well as ornamental shrubs
