The investigation of the features of reproduction of new decorative species by the seeds goes on in “Dendrology Garden”

Staff  of the  laboratory “Landscape Architecture and systematics” of the public legal entity “Dendrology Garden” carry out research work on the investigation of  the characteristics of  seed reproduction of  various types and varieties of new decorative plants.

The aim of the research work is the introduction  of new types of  trees, shrubs and herbs, their adaptation to external environmental factors and their application on  the basis of architecture of landscape.

5 species have brought from Türkiye (Drosanthemum floribundum (Haw.) Schwantes, Tagetes erecta L., Amaranthus caudatus L., Ageratum houstonianum Mill.,Chrysanthemum indicum L.) the new decorative species  are sown indoors in  the first ten days of October in plant seedling containers with the addition  of a  previously prepared mixture of leaves, peat and sand in a ratio of 2:1:1. Suitable temperature and light conditions were provided for seed germination. In the second ten days of  October, 60-70% of the first sprouts were noted, and was noted in the third ten days, 4-6 cm in height.

The studied species and varieties can be used in the design of various compositions in order to provide diversity in landscape architecture in terms of colour, shape, and structure. Research work is ongoing.
