Common name
Within the Common name field, part or all of the common name of the plant(s) you want to search for can be entered. If you do not want to search by common name, then just leave the Common name field blank. The field is not case sensitive, meaning that searching for “rose” is the same as searching for “Rose”.

Botanical name
Within the Botanical name field, part or all of the botanical name of the plant(s) you want to search for can be entered. If you do not want to search by botanical name, then just leave the Botanical name field blank.
