Selection and Design of Low Maintenance Floral Plants in Lüliang Urban Park
This project focused on the selection and design construction of low-maintenance floral landscapes in Lüliang City parks.By con-ducting preliminary surveys and analyzing the natural environment and ecological conditions of the Lüliang area,it determined suitable types of low-maintenance plants for the region.Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process,evaluation criteria for low-maintenance floral landscapes in Lüliang City were established.Plants well-adapted to the urban environment,with long growth cycles and low maintenance costs,were select-ed.A total of 45 grade-A plants were selected,including 10 shrubs,accounting for 22.22%;16 perennials,accounting for 35.56%;and 12 biennial and annual herbs,accounting for 26.67%.There were 21 flowering plants,accounting for 47.54%;16 foliage plants,accounting for 36.07%;and 7 form plants,accounting for 16.39%.Represented by Ruyi Lake and Beichuan River Park,aesthetically pleasing and practical plant landscapes were designed,meeting the needs for park beautification and public recreation.The selection and design construction of low-maintenance floral landscapes not only provided Lüliang City parks with an ecological,economical,and aesthetically appealing green solution but also enhanced the city's capacity for sustainable development and enriched the public's life experience.
