••• Plants that Can for those who think they Cant! •••
Gardening is not brain surgery, or rocket science - and if I have learned one thing, it is that gardening should never be taken seriously. So have fun. There are no rules.
You may search all plants, or use the filter to search for annuals, perennials or those grown in sun, shade or for foliage or flowers. Scroll through any plant for useful information, swipe through hundreds of photos. Add plants to your list of favorites, and email some of these to your friends or spouse so they will buy you the plant you actually are lusting for.
For even more excitement, I have included videos where not only do I make a fool of myself, but may even teach you a few hints. Have fun!

Latest reviews of Armitage’s Great Garden Plants app for iPhone and iPad
Since the most recent iOS update this app has lost all content. Links are available, but information has disappeared.
This has the potential to be a very valuable app. I would suggest a search option so that people can search information specific to a plant they might be looking at purchasing. I was also hoping that Canada would be included, since the author is originally from here. This is USA specific. Currently it isnt really worth the purchase price. But hopefully it can be made more useful. I would also recommend the ability to search for plants by USDA zone that you live in.
This is the app gardeners and flower/garden lovers have been waiting for. Even though this is the first release - it is an excellent, polished product. Thank you Dr. Armitage.
The pictures alone are worth purchasing this app. It is written and formatted in a manner that allows a casual gardener to use the app easily. The maps really help with information. It is nice to have an expert pass his knowledge along to amateur gargeners.
I highly recommend this app to the avid Gardner as well as the aspiring horticulturist. It provides illustrative images, unusual perennial plants, as well as advice from "The Doc" himself, Allan Armitage. Its a must have for anyone at all interested in plants!
