Plant resources

Good information, collected in one place.

The organizations whose published facts PlantAdvocate's species catalog cites, plus a way to suggest ones we've missed.

Who our species catalog cites.

PlantAdvocate is independent. The organizations it cites have not reviewed or endorsed it.

Plant database

NC State Extension Gardener Plant Toolbox

North Carolina State University's searchable plant database, and the source behind most of the catalog's citations.

Horticulture

Royal Horticultural Society

The UK's gardening charity. Its plant pages back a large share of the catalog's care values, for houseplants and garden plants alike.

Botanical garden

Missouri Botanical Garden

Its Plant Finder gives culture notes for garden plants, and the catalog cites it throughout.

Care data

University extension services

Clemson, UF/IFAS, UGA, Penn State and University of Maryland extension guides add further care facts across the catalog.
