Abstract: Urban green spaces are increasingly recognized not only as aesthetic elements of city infrastructure but as vital components of ecological networks that support biodiversity and deliver essential ecosystem services. However, conventional ornamental landscaping often relies on non-native, lowdiversity plantings with limited ecological value, contributing to biotic homogenization and pollinator decline. This study investigates the integration of native and pollinator-friendly plant species into urban ornamental landscapes as a strategy for enhancing functional biodiversity and strengthening ecological resilience. Based on multi-year field trials in Moscow and satellite cities, the research evaluates the performance of 42 native and adapted perennial species—such as Echinacea purpurea, Allium spp., Filipendula ulmaria, Stachys officinalis, and Sanguisorba officinalis—in designed urban plantings. The study assesses their ornamental value, phenological stability, drought tolerance, and attractiveness to pollinating insects, including bees (Apoidea), hoverflies (Syrphidae), and butterflies (Lepidoptera). Results demonstrate that well-designed native-rich plantings increase pollinator abundance by up to 3.8 times and species richness by 2.5 times compared to traditional horticultural schemes. Moreover, native species exhibited higher survival rates under urban stressors (compacted soils, air pollution, irregular watering) and required 30–50% less maintenance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
