Read names like a botanist
Acer palmatum ‘Bloodgood’
Every rank gets its own color, on every plant, in every study mode — so the structure of a botanical name becomes obvious at a glance.
Everything the website taught you — built for one hand.
Color-coded botanical names
Genus, species, cultivar, family — every part of a scientific name is colored by rank, so Latin names stop being a wall of italics.
Six study modes, one memory
Flashcards, multiple choice, writing tests, name puzzles, a fast-paced name game, and a glossary quiz — all feeding the same spaced-repetition schedule.
A new plant every day
The Daily Plant challenge gives you one mystery plant each day. Guess it, learn it, and keep your streak alive.
The full catalog, filtered your way
Search and filter 8,500+ trees, shrubs, perennials, and houseplants by family, sun, water, hardiness zone, bloom, color, and more.
Progress you can feel
Mastery stats, badges, XP tiers, and a leaderboard — see exactly which plants need practice and which you own.
One account, everywhere
Your streaks, favorites, sightings, and study progress sync between the website and the app. Start on your desk, review in the garden.
Straight from the simulator
Every screen below is a real capture of the app running against the live Plant Reference database. Nothing staged, nothing mocked.
Don't wait for the App Store to start your streak
Your account carries over. Every plant you master on the web today will be waiting in the app on day one.
