Find plants by climate

Start with the growing conditions that decide whether a plant thrives: heat, winter cold, rainfall, soil, and exposure.

Plants are organized in three practical ways:

  • Botanical group: what kind of organism it is, such as angiosperm, fern, conifer, cycad, moss, or algae.
  • Use and setting: where people usually grow it, such as indoor foliage, edible crop, hedge, pond plant, shade tree, or bedding annual.
  • Care pattern: the real-world conditions that matter most: light, water, soil drainage, humidity, temperature, dormancy, and pruning.
