Abstract

The purpose of this research is to clarify the actual usage of perennial and native plants in streetside flower beds. We surveyed in 43 places community flower beds in the summer-autumn of 2018 and 44 places community flower beds in the spring of 2019 in Tama city. The results of survey showed that a total of 162 kinds of plants (annual plants: 54sp. / perennial plants: 108sp.) were confirmed. The flower beds were divided into three types, ①Annual plant type, ②Mixed type, ③perennial plant type. Moreover ① and ② were divided into sub-units, a.High-constancy species type, b.Differential species type earch other. All in all, it was revealed that overall half or more were annual plant-based flower beds, but a multi-kind perennial plants were put on a certain flower bed behind trees or buildings. In addition, the use of the perennial plant increased as the area of the flower bed became big. It is thought that this aimed at low maintenance. At the street flower bed with much pedestrian traffic to be located in the business district, it will raise admiration value to utilize various kinds of perennial plants.
