How to use the library

A reference starting point, not a substitute for species-level context.

Some common flower names cover an entire genus, many hybrids or hundreds of cultivars. Where a trait varies materially, our profiles should say so rather than presenting one care rule or toxicity statement as universal. Botanical names and distribution data should be checked against current taxonomic references; growing guidance should be interpreted for local climate.
