Plant concepts
Plant concepts
The plant concepts are designed and tested in the facade system by landscape architects and gardeners, with the overall focus of finding robust and healthy plant species for aesthetically pleasing and seasonally varying plantings.
Biodiversity Insect
Flora and fauna go hand in hand in this plant composition. Flowering and berry-bearing plant species, which collectively provide a long flowering period, ensure food for insects and berries for birds. Shrubs create natural nesting opportunities for songbirds.
Biodiversity can be further supported with biodiversity elements such as nest boxes, insect hotels, bat boxes etc.
Summer Bloom
Flowery and lush. A plant composition that radiates summer and sun in the warm months and creates an eye-catcher. Predominantly perennials and a few grasses.
The summer and winter periods will contrast with each other, as the plant composition will retreat into winter mode, exposing the chosen front material.
Forest Edge
Extra green and lush with juicy and visible leaf structures. The plant composition focuses on structure-forming leaf shapes, which draw the eye and create a calm expression.
Ferns, large-leaved perennials and small shrubs give the characteristic look.
Grassland
Light and airy plant composition with grasses and perennials. The characteristic light grasses with swaying ears wave in the wind and create a natural and lively expression.
Some flowers in the summer months and ears of corn as functioning winter stands.
Low maintenance
Simple and well-functioning composition with compact and robust perennials, shrubs and grasses. Predominance of slow-growing evergreen species. Medium flowering in the summer months.
The plant composition will only expose front materials to a lesser extent in winter.
Evergreen
High proportion of evergreen perennials, grasses and shrubs. Afacade with this concept will appear green and living, and will have a uniformly lush appearance throughout the year. Simple flowering and fruiting.
Evergreen shrubs provide shelter and an opportunity for songbirds to nest. The plant composition will only expose front materials to a lesser extent in winter.
With the help of a plant advisor for Vertical, the various plant concepts are adapted to the building’s geographical orientation and the conditions for natural sunlight.
