The Plant Creation Wizard can be used to create a new plant using the appearance of the currently selected plant. This is useful for using an existing plant as a starting point for your own variations.
To create a custom plant:
1. Add the plant that you would like to use to your landscape design. For instructions, see Adding a Plant.
2. Modify the color and brightness of the plant as needed. Either adjust the Color and Brightness of the plant, or edit it using the Realtime Picture Editor.
3. Ensure that the plant is selected.
4. From the Tools menu, click Plant Creation Wizard.
5. Click Next.
6. Click the Set File Name button, enter the desired common name for the new plant, and then click Next.
7. Enter the desired information for your plant and then click Next. This information is optional, but it is recommended to accurately enter the mature age and mature height as they affect how the plant is sized when it is added to your landscape design.
8. Click Finish to complete the wizard.
9. Your new plant will appear in the Custom category of the plant library.
