Plant profiles with some in-depth information on plant requirements are what I want when purchasing a new plant. It helps me give a good start to the plant by giving the conditions it needs. Height and spread are important to know when combining plants in a pleasing design.

Do you like to know the favorite plants of people who have been long time gardeners? I do, and when creating a specific type of garden, like to know about the general type of flowers: how to prepare my garden beds and plans -what to expect from that type of gardening. Annuals, perennials, and shrubs can all be mixed, and I like that sort of garden the best, but it is still important to know how they best thrive when combining them by knowing the requirements of each type. General pages like “Annuals”, etc. are the best when first planning and creating a garden. Saves a lot of work and mistakes. And disappointed expectations.
