Abstract: Phytodesign is aimed at uniting the plant and object worlds. It pursues the line of humanization of the artificial environment, and also helps to develop a thoughtful, scientifically based design solution for introducing plants into interiors. The purpose of the article was to study species composition of ornamental cereal plants used in floristry and to establish promising ones for compositional solutions. Assortment study of ornamental cereals used in modern floristry was carried out using theoretical and methodological approaches in phytodesign. As a result of literature analysis, floristic and phytodesign studies, it was established that the range of plants used for floristry is represented by 161 species from 48 families of 25 orders. The orders Asterales and Poales Small and the families Asteraceae Bercht. & J.Presl and Poaceae Barnh dominate in terms of the number of species. For compositions formation inflorescences of ornamental and wild cereal plants from the genera Aīra, Arundo, Bouteloua, Coix, Dactylis, Stipa, Lagurus, Alopecurus, Setaria, Panicum, Bromus L., Poa are most often used. Every year the range of ornamental cereal plants for compositional solutions in floristry increases. Therefore, having analyzed the range of ornamental cereal plants used in landscape design and grown in ornamental plant nurseries, we came to the conclusion that 47 species from the family Poaceae Barnh are promising. Of these, 17 species and 41 cultivars can be used as forming material or linear plant material; 30 species and 41 cultivars as dominant or focusing material; 29 species and 25 cultivars as filler plant material or additional material. Key words: phytodesign, compositions, ornamental cereals, species, cultivars.
