Plants and Beyond for
Perennials Garden
PlantsAn
ornamental plant is a plant that is grown for its ornamental qualities,
rather than for its commercial or other value. The term is often abbreviated to
ornamental (usually as a noun) when used in horticultural contexts.
Ornamental plants
are typically grown in the flower garden, or as house plants. Most commonly they
are grown for display of their flowers. Other common ornamental features include
leaves, scent, fruit, stem and bark. In some cases, unusual features may be
considered ornamental, such as the prominent and rather vicious thorns of
Rosa sericea. In all cases, their purpose is the enjoyment of gardeners and
visitors. Ornamental plants may also be used for landscaping, and for cut
flowers.
