Flowers : refers to herbaceous plants that are mainly grown for viewing their flowers.

Ground cover : In addition to the ground plants (mosses) covering the bare ground, it mainly includes some low-lying herbaceous plants planted in groups with dense stems and leaves, as well as a small number of shrubs and creepers.
