Abstract
Flowers give people relieves and enrichments, and also the symbol of richness in mind. This research is conducted on the learned data from flower beds at Huis Ten Bosch by comparing perennial bed and annual bed to study now perennial beds bring both scenic and economic merit. Scenic merit is proven that, because forms and variety of perennial plants are so diverse that the landscape is more diversified than annuals. The comparison of used areas shows that perennials maintain scenic quality by using 60% area of the annuals. Its economical merit is proven that the cost of perennial beds at construction is 1/3 of annuals and 1/5 in yearly maintenance. Perennials are proven to be both scenic and economical as they grow larger to form more natural scenes, also as the cost of construction and maintenance reduced. The merit is proven to grow larger as years pass by.
