Abstract Urbanization has resulted in the rapid transformation of natural landscapes, creating an urgent need for planned urban greenery to maintain ecological balance and environmental quality. Ornamental flowering plants play a vital role in enhancing urban ecosystems by improving aesthetic appeal, supporting biodiversity, and mitigating environmental stress.

The present study focuses on the diversity, distribution, and functional significance of ornamental plants in the urban landscapes of Mahabubnagar, Telangana. Field surveys were conducted in public parks, roadsides, residential colonies, and institutional gardens to document commonly cultivated ornamental species and their ecological contributions. A total of Sixty ornamental taxa belonging to 24 diverse families were recorded, representing trees, shrubs, climbers, and herbaceous forms. The study assessed their role in providing habitat for pollinators, reducing air pollution, moderating microclimate, and improving soil stability. Geographic Information System (GIS) tools were employed to map the spatial distribution of ornamental greenery and to evaluate green cover density across selected locations. Interviews with residents, horticulturists, and municipal authorities were conducted to understand planting preferences and management practices. The findings revealed that ornamental plants significantly contribute to urban aesthetics, psychological well-being, and environmental sustainability.
