| Abstract:
A mixed planting consists of a determined mix of several species that are planted by chance. The order is achieved by teaselled flowering, harmony colour, texture and height. Covering plants illustrate the biggest part of the area. Random planting can help to reduce the costs. Mixed plantings are alternatives to seasonal beddings and intensive perennial borders. For a distinct structure of plantings regarding wider areas, a variety of mixed plantings is introduced. | |
