How this list is made
Derived from each plant's flower color tags and bloom colors, as stored in the BloomsEye library, which was written with AI assistance. Of these 283 plants, 101 have been checked against outside sources (20 fully verified); the rest have not been checked yet, and each plant's own page says which. The cards are AI-generated illustrations.

Red flowers by height
Mature height, in the three bands a border is planted in. Anything over 10 ft is structure rather than a border plant, and a climber is sized by whatever it is growing up, so both sit this out.
