Experts on ground cover plants in gardens in the foreground application

 In recent years, urban landscape, ground cover plants favored variety of applications, more and more gradual increase in sales prices. It also led some manufacturers to pay more attention to ground cover plants, some garden designers landscape to achieve the desired effect, but also to find suitable ground cover plants. In order to better development and application of ground cover plants, magazine invited some industry experts, special and being the responsible person in the Landscape Plants, selection of species and the development prospects of so expressed their views. What

ground cover plants?

Xia Yiping (Zhejiang University Professor, Institute of Landscape Architecture):

ground vegetation, are those that grow naturally or after cutting height 1 meter in height, planted into a piece of dense foliage can may cover the ground better, and a strong expansion capability of plants, including woody plants, herbs, vines, and succulents. More than that in the previous 50 cm domestic below, while overseas is generally considered of 1.2 meters. As the growth in different environments and conditions of plant cultivation and management of different height, so in addition to traditional ground cover plants such as shrubs and strong sprouts, herbs and vine-like plants, the other as low shrubs and perennial flowers herbs, or by close planting to the role as a ground cover, can be used as ground cover to apply.

Zhouxue Qing (Green Industry Development Co., Ltd. Shenzhen, vice president of Coptic gardener):

name implies, the ground cover is low ground cover plants. Includes not only the low of perennial herbs, there are more adaptive type of low shrubs and creeping vines. Low ground cover plants, the main means for being some of the landscape plants. Be the difference between plants and lawn grass is grass green or brown plant can only be shown, and ground cover plants in addition to the green, there are red, blue, purple, silver, copper and gold and so on, through the rational allocation can present a variety of hierarchical structure.

ZHU Ren-Yuan (Beijing Sunny Engineering Co., Ltd. General Manager Lin Yuan Garden):

0.5 meters below the dwarf shrubs, perennial flowers, ornamental grass.

Majiang Sheng (Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Senior Engineer):

the so-called ground cover plants, up from its function definition, that green space can be used plant species or variety group is a broad concept. Now generally accepted community garden ground cover plants with the following characteristics: plant low, clusters, growing well, strong resistance, perennial, ornamental effect, labor, water, group effect. More representative of the categories are: to be Chrysanthemum, Dianthus, to be Rose, Iris, February orchids, ivy, Ivy, Sabina, sunflowers, Sedum type and so on. Many perennial flowers, ground cover plants are also included within the scope of, such as the Netherlands chrysanthemum, lily, iris, hosta, perennial phlox and other species commonly used in the flower border.

Huhai Jiang (Beijing Sunshine Lin Yuan Garden Engineering Co., Ltd. Sales Manager):

being refers to the plant ground cover garden space. Many of these plants have some ornamental value and environmental protection. Close to the ground in the grass, perennial flowers, a biennial herbaceous flowers, or even low, clusters, tight shrub can be used as ground cover. Austin American Co., Ltd. Manager):

middle and lower plants are ground cover plants.

Maan Hua (Deputy General Manager of Horticulture, Shandong Crossroad):

plant ground cover plants is low, the portion above the root, such as quilt, covering up on the surface of the plant known.

Dai Jun (Wuhu Green, NITA, general manager of a large seed base):

relatively low ground cover plants are referred to the plant, including a biennial flower, etc., not including trees, more high shrubs.

Anyou Feng (Beijing Forestry University Teachers):

covers the ground, not too high, there is a certain density and mass effect of plants, including low shrubs, lawns, vines, a biennial and perennial flowers.

Li with water (Beijing World Xiuse Landscaping Co., Ltd):

landscaping ground cover plants in the application of a number of plants is low, generally no higher than 30 cm, dense foliage, with more strong expansion of capacity, can quickly cover the ground and the contamination resistance, easy to extensive management, after planting the plants do not need regular replacement.

Liukun Liang (Shanghai Institute of Landscape Plants never ending):

been somewhat vague concept of the plant, but it has several basic characteristics: First, low and tidy, do not require too much pruning. Second, strong resistance, do not need too much maintenance. Third, persistent. A biennial flower withering easy not strictly be plants. Fourth is the best evergreen. Fifth, the growth of lush ground cover effect.

WANG Hai-ying (Beijing flowers assistant general manager):

low to cover the surface of the plant, including not only an annual, biennial and perennial herbs, including some adaptability moss , ferns, evergreen and deciduous woody, climbing vines and perennial flowers.

Chen Shaoping (Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province by the Engineer garden):

ground vegetation land cover refers to the ability to live, so that bare soil without plants, their common feature is the growth of dwarf , stems and leaves densely covered, the coverage is large, cut-resistant, and has sprawling properties.

package Zhiyi (Zhejiang University):

the concept of ground cover plants are not so wide in fact, there are three main points: first, the natural growth rather than cutting from a high degree of plants less than 0.5 meters; second, coverage should be high, not too sparse; third, simple maintenance, extensive. There are other features, such as viewing, but to stress the basic green-based, mostly shade-tolerant plants, less-positive plants.

ground vegetation quickly became popular in recent years, mainly due to what?

ZHU Ren-Yuan: First of all, with the rapid economic development, public awareness of the requirements of plant diversity has greatly improved people's appreciation is also rising in the past several turf grasses monotonous unable to meet the needs of people viewing. Secondly, now the lawn applications (especially in the north), there were many problems, such as water consumption, maintenance costs are high, the limited seasonal landscapes, etc., and some plants such as Hosta been, Ophiopogon japonicus and other maintenance, low cost, can make up lawn application defects.

Ma Jiangsheng: The main reason should be market driven. Market demand is to promote rapid plant a large number of applications being a strong force. After our landscape green and beautify the two basic stages, Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and other large cities to upgrade to the ecological stage. Plants in plant landscaping not only to the United States, but also fully take into account the ecological habits of plants and construction of the science of ecological landscape requirements. Ground vegetation, especially forest edge, forest ecological garden construction to be an indispensable element. Another factor is the production technology improved, expanded and ground cover plants for the production of low cost, nursery stock is also large enough to meet regional market demand.

Dai Jun: There are three reasons, first, the green industry is at the peak of a comprehensive development of all plant species are in rapid development; second, to be fast and plant propagation, promotion is relatively easy; Third, be more plant species than shrubs, able to adapt to a greater variety of climate and soil environment.

Maan Hua: With economic development, it is more effective pursuit of natural green, in addition to the extensive use of ground cover and higher overall efficiency.

package Zhiyi: forest lawn often grow well, and ground cover plants with good adaptability, can increase the amount of green and improve the landscape level.

Li with water: the ground layer in a plant community has a pivotal position is an integral part of the community, changes in the ecological environment on the whole positive and important role to play, it became popular in the years to cover plant is also an inevitable trend. Another major factor is the application of certain limitations of the lawn, but also so that people will look increasingly being invested in plants.

Liu Kunliang: This is a horticultural development and the level of the result of consumer demand have increased. With the recent increasing levels of gardening, ground cover plants quickly became popular was an inevitable stage in the development of horticulture.

Xia Yiping: First,UGG boots clearanc, the construction sector, the application units of more and more attention, the increased demand; two divergent novelty for consumers, need for a comprehensive, three-dimensional nature of the configuration.

Chen Shaoping: the role of ground vegetation is green the main reason for its popularity quickly. Ground cover to reduce dust, clean the air; minimize surface acoustic wave transmission, reduce noise pollution; to prevent soil erosion and reduce the ground floor radiant heat and ground heat transmission; protect the natural environment, so that fresh air.
