The paper presents an ecologic-geographical and morphological analysis, research on seasonal developmental rhythms and hardiness assessment of five species of evergreen plants (Bergenia crassifolia (L.) Fritsch, Geranium macrorrhizum L., Geranium × cantabrigiense P.F. Yeo, Helleborus orientalis Lam., and Waldsteinia ternata (Stephan) Fritsch.) in the conditions of Donetsk Botanical Garden. All species were found to be highly adaptable to the regional conditions. Vegetative propagation is the basic method of propagation in the cultivation process. The studied species are promising for creating sustainable and ornamental plant compositions in Donbass. They are recommended for use in parkland, shade rockeries.
