Collection of 378 perennials, grasses, bulbs, and herbs 2D & 3D & database in english – Vectorworks 2025

Most commonly used garden plants in landscape design, sustainable planting, and outdoor landscaping.

It comprises four major families:

• Perennials (daylilies, perennial geraniums, echinacea, sedums, asters, sage, penstemons, coreopsis, gaura, nepeta, etc.)
• Grasses (stipas, miscanthus, pennisetum, calamagrostis, festuca, molinia, deschampsia, carex, panicum, etc.)
• Spring/summer bulbs and tubers (tulips, daffodils, alliums, camassias, crocuses, irises, agapanthus, dahlias, gladioli, etc.)
• Aromatic and culinary herbs (lavender, thyme, rosemary, sage, mint, oregano, chives, tarragon, lemon balm, etc.)

Composition of each symbol

Each plant in this category comes with two complementary components, perfectly integrated for Vectorworks:

1. 2D symbol
   • Realistic or stylized top view
   • Heights/widths depending on the plant
   • Differentiated foliage and flowering where relevant
   • Clear label with Latin name + all possible fields
   • Line thickness and density adapted to remain legible even in overviews
2. Very lightweight 3D component (Image Prop)
   • Ultra-light modeling created exclusively with a prop image (billboard)
   • Extremely low weight for a lightweight and realistic display
   • Very natural visual results from the first viewing distances (3D rendering, perspectives, camera views)
   • No heavy geometry = your Vectorworks files remain fluid even with several hundred plants

Full compatibility with the Vectorworks catalog

All symbols in this database strictly adhere to the characteristics and fields of the plant catalog integrated into Vectorworks. This means that each plant includes the following information, correctly filled in and ready to be used in your reports and captions:

• Latin name and common name
• Plant type
• Adult height and width
• Flowering period
• Flower color
• Type of foliage (deciduous / evergreen / semi-evergreen)
• Recommended exposure (sun, partial shade, shade)
• Water requirements
• Hardiness (hardiness zone)
• Suggested landscape use
• ...

This data allows for seamless integration into your project's planting tables, technical data sheets, and area calculations.

Why this format is particularly suitable

• Convincing 3D rendering without sacrificing software speed
• Low impact on file size (ideal for large projects or less powerful computers)
• Easy to edit: you can change the height, rotation, opacity, tint, or replace the prop image if needed.
• Realism sufficient for client presentations, site studies, and mood renderings
• No loss of performance compared to full 3D models (mesh + textures)
