The horticultural flora of Croatia differs on the mainland and the coastal part due to the influence of relief, climate, availability of plant material and the creativity of the population. Eight earlier floristic surveys from continental (Donja Stubica, Karlovac, Posavski Bregi, Virovitica) and coastal (Dubrovnik, Opatija, Susak, Veli Lošinj) areas of Croatia were analyzed. 457 taxa from 106 families of continental Croatia and 473 taxa from 123 families of coastal Croatia were documented. The most represented families of the continental part are Asteraceae, Ranunculaceae, Rosaceae and Pinaceae, and of the coastal part are Rosaceae, Asteraceae, Lamiaceae and Fabaceae. In the continental area, Euro-Asian and horticultural taxa are most represented, while in the coastal area taxa of Asian, then Euro-Asian-North African (ie Mediterranean) origin dominate. The most common life form is a herbaceous perennial, but there are also deciduous/evergreen shrubs and deciduous/evergreen trees in large numbers. Regarding the status in Croatia, allochthonous taxa in culture and autochthonous taxa predominate, but ten invasive taxa were also recorded on the coastal and seven on the continental area of Croatia.
