Abstract

Over the last several decades, there has been an increase in research of wild and protected plant species and in their introduction into growing. The use of these species in urban landscapes contributes to the conservation of biological and landscape diversity. In our country, there is still a trend of insufficient growing of these species. Consequently, the specific objective of this paper was to explore the perceptions and attitudes of survey respondents concerning ornamental features and the use of selected protected plant species growing in the Croatian karst (Fam. Caryophyllaceae, Iridaceae, Liliaceae and Ranunculaceae). The general part of the paper focused on the introduction of new species into ornamental horticulture with an emphasis on protected plant species, as well as the descriptions of the selected latter species from the bio-ecological and the conservation aspect. A survey research was a primary data source and it was conducted in the second half of 2019. According to the findings, the respondents normally evaluated the ornamental features and the use of the selected species with the grade good. The average grades for different species are considerably similar in terms of ornamental features and the use. This is due to a continuous use of allochthonous species during the last several decades. There are also exceptions concerning ornamental features and the use that have been evaluated with very good grades: orange lily, black hellebore and snowdrop anemone. The respondents perceived the maintenance of the above mentioned plant species as medium. These preliminary findings can be used upon the introduction of new species into ornamental horticulture.
