Abstract: To clarify the application situation and landscape types of color-leafed plants species in Lintong District of Xi’an, we conduct statistics and analysis on the color- leafed plants species and landscape application types to main streets, park plaza, living area and campus by using field investigation and photo recording. The results showed that: (1) there were 14 families 17 genera and 18 species of color-leafed plants for greening in Lintong District; in city road greening, there were 5 kinds of color-leafed plants; in public greening space, there were 15 kinds of color-leafed plants; in residential area, there were 6 kinds of colorleafed plants, mainly in the newly built high-end residential area; there were 16 kinds of color-leafed plants in campus; the majority was still common species, but the application area was wide and the configuration was varied; (2) the main landscape applications of color- leafed plants in this district were arranged planting, clustered planting, group planting, flaky planting, color lump and color ribbon. There were some problems in landscape application of color-leafed plants in this district such as low species diversity, imbalanced species structure, relatively single configuration method and insufficient conservation and management. In addition, a few suggestions concerning the introduction, design and application of color-leafed plants in Lintong are put forward.
