Abstract

Perennials are plant species that live for two or more years. They are the most diverse group of ornamental plants that shows a wide range of forms, colors, forms, textures and scents. They need hardly any care throughout their long growing season. Some of them can be grown in wetland conditions, while most of them require adequately ameliorated humus rich garden soil. Most these plants can be used both for vegetative and generative reproduction. Perennials are used in landscaping in the following ways: as individual plants (solitaires), in groups, as ground cover, in rock gardens and for creating hedges, to name a few. The following perennials are most frequently grown in the Mediterranean: Hedera helix, Cyclamen hederifolium, Sempervivum tectorum, Hydrangea sp., Primula vulgaris, Salvia officinalis, Dianthus barbatus, Chrysanthemum indicum, Lavandula angustifolia and Helichrysum italicum, whose characteristics have been presented in this paper. The findings of the survey research conducted in the Knin area and its outskirts provided the primary sources of information in this paper. The objective of the survey research was to determine the common knowledge about specific ornamental perennials (their use in landscaping, ornamental characteristics of the species, maintenance regimes and impact of individual species on human mood). The survey research was conducted in April 2017 on a sample of 50 respondents. The research findings showed as follows: the respondents evaluated the use of perennials in landscaping and their ornamental characteristics with very good grades. Maintenance regimes were assessed most frequently as easy maintenance, whereas the impact of perennials on human mood was evaluated with high very good grades.
