Table of Contents As contrasted with plants adapted to heavy or compact formaleffects the plants of this group have a more open, looser habit ofgrowth. They are apt to be not quite as refined in character in someinstances, and they are not required to produce the neat line of foliagewhich are part of the more formal designs. It is difficult to define clearly, and to specify, what plants are to beused in informal effects. At the same time, a few standard kinds ofplants to be used in the border plantations of lawns, in the borderplantations of wild garden areas and informal garden areas should belisted for ready reference. It is much easier to use some of the plantsincluded in the former list, especially those with the more vigorous,open habit of growth, for this type of planting, than to use plants in-cluded in this list for the same purpose as those included in the formerlist. Most large and small lawns which are not developed on definite,formal axial lines, should be bordered with plants of this kind. |
