Plant Finder
Find Plants Matching any of 21 Criteria

Instructions: Use this tool to find one or more plants that match some set of characteristics of interest. You might use it to find a plant for your garden, or to help identify a plant you have seen.

PlantFinder's database currently includes 1,569,147 attributes for 211,394 of the 1,363,971 plants on this site. Big numbers, but our database is incomplete (VERY incomplete for leaf shape, margin, and venation), and there will always be other plants that also match your specs. The fewer specs you provide, the more plants this tool will find for you.

For definitions of any of these terms, click the term: Annual • Biennial • Evergreen • Deciduous • Forb/Herb • Full Shade • Full Sun • Graminoid • Lichenous • Liana • NonVascular • Perennial • Shrub • SubShrub • Tree • Vine
