Ornamental plants, known in Hungarian as dísznövények, are cultivated for their aesthetic appeal rather than for practical purposes like food or medicine. These plants are chosen for their visual qualities, including their flowers, foliage, fruits, or overall form. They play a significant role in landscaping, garden design, and interior decoration, contributing to the beauty and ambiance of various environments.

The diversity of ornamental plants is vast, encompassing a wide range of species from annuals and perennials to shrubs and trees. Annuals complete their life cycle in a single growing season and are often used for vibrant, temporary displays of color. Perennials return year after year, providing a more lasting presence in gardens, with many offering successive blooms or attractive foliage throughout the seasons. Shrubs and trees, with their woody structures, offer year-round interest, providing form, screening, and habitat in addition to visual appeal.

Ornamental plants are categorized by their characteristics such as bloom time, color, size, and hardiness. Gardeners and designers select them to create specific effects, such as vibrant flower beds, serene woodland gardens, or structured formal landscapes. Their cultivation requires an understanding of their specific needs regarding sunlight, water, soil type, and climate. The use of ornamental plants extends beyond outdoor gardens, with many species being popular houseplants, valued for their ability to purify air and enhance indoor spaces.
