About The PlantFinder

This service contains information on the over 3500 herbaceous perennials, shrubs, vines and trees which are currently growing or have been grown in the 23 demonstration gardens at the Missouri Botanical Garden's Kemper Center for Home Gardening.

Additional information on each of these plants is available at the Center in a searchable database called the "PlantFinder". This additional information includes:

• Bloom time based on bloom data collected at the Garden.
• Special features of each plant, e.g., colorful fruit, winter interest, fragrant flowers.
• Uses for the plant, e.g., spreading ground cover, good hedge plant, attracts birds or butterflies.

Through the "PlantFinder" you can print lists of plants that meet specific criteria such as herbaceous plants with yellow flowers that are under 3 feet tall and grow well in part shade.

Use of the "PlantFinder" at the Kemper Center is free for Garden members or with regular Garden admission for non-members.
