Use of Ornamentals in Landscaping a review

Landscaping comprises the beautification of different places. It involves softscape and hardscape. Softscape include the planting of trees, shrubs, climbers, bulbous plants, pot plants, grasses, cacti and succulents, whereas hardscapes include patio, benches, steps, water features, garden path and garden drive. Major design areas are: public area, outdoor living areas, service area, and private areas. To make a successful design we have to follow certain principles like unity, rhythm, balance, emphasis, scale and elements like line, form, texture, colour, and light. Different types of ornamental plants can be used for landscaping in combination with hardscape to create picturesque effect. In this review paper, I am going to discuss the plants that are suitable for landscaping.
