In flower now · August

1,702 plants for your garden, each with a real bloom calendar.

The months it flowers, the hardiness zones it survives, the sun and water it wants. We are checking every entry against the published botanical authorities, in the open. And where they disagree, we publish it.

Every name works: "althea" finds Rose of Sharon.

Bloom calendar

The bloom calendar: what blooms when, in your zone

Every plant page charts the months it actually flowers. The Bloom Calendar crosses those charts with USDA hardiness zones, so you can pick your zone and a month and see everything that should be in flower.
