Plant Masses <br /> The use of plant masses is another strategy that can create a sense of order in plantings. This <br /> strategy looks most natural with species that are normally found in clumps such as those that <br /> spread by rhizome or are commonly found in monoculture stands. While combining masses, <br /> one should think about color, texture, line and height combinations. <br /> Benefits: Creates order; many options with free-form design; dense masses reduce weed <br /> competition. <br /> Limitations: susceptibility to disease and insects; some species may look insignificant when <br /> plants are not blooming or are dormant. <br /> Maintenance requirement: Medium <br /> Black-eyed Susans(top right) <br /> Dwarfbush Honeysuckle(bottom right) _ <br /> photos by Dan Shaw <br /> Massing of Prairie Species in Saint Paul <br /> W <br /> photo by Sara Mors(left) <br /> IL <br /> �y <br /> .1 <br /> y <br /> _ <br /> 1 Jy <br /> v � - <br /> .8 -s-Av - <br /> IM <br /> u <br /> 38 <br />
