"Knowing what grows naturally in your area deepens your connection to the landscape and helps you choose plants that will thrive in your garden or pots.
Regional plant ID starts with observation: note where the plant grows (sun, soil, moisture), its leaves, flowers, and form. Use the ePlant identifier to get a likely species from a photo, then confirm with local resources like USDA Plants or your state's native plant society. Browse our encyclopedia for care and traits once you have a name.

How to Use ePlant for Regional ID
Snap clear photos of leaves, flowers, and overall habit. ePlant's AI suggests species that you can cross-check with local guides or extension services. In many regions, native trees, wildflowers, and weeds are in our database-so you can name what you see on walks or in your yard.
Identify Local Plants on the Go
