About

Plant List Visualizer

Have a plant list you can't picture? A native-plant sale list, a nursery availability sheet, a landscape designer's planting plan, a row of shelf tags — Plant List Visualizer turns it into a gallery with one picture per plant, in the list's own order, so you can see what you're choosing. MADE FOR • Plant sales — native-plant societies, garden clubs and arboretums publish long lists of botanical names; see the whole list before you go • Nursery and garden-center shopping — availability sheets and shelf tags • Landscape and garden plans — see the plants your designer specified • Lawn-replacement and water-wise plant lists — choose from an approved list by sight, not by Latin name • Pollinator, native and perennial gardens HOW IT WORKS • Photograph a plant list (or pick a photo from your library, paste the text, or paste a link) • Text is read on your device, and the plants are extracted with AI • Every plant gets a picture: an attributed web sample from stock and open-media sources, or a clearly labeled AI image — you choose the mode • The list keeps its own order and section headings, so the gallery reads side-by-side with the sheet in your hand NOT A PLANT IDENTIFIER Plant List Visualizer starts from names you already have. It does not identify a plant from a photo of the plant. ACCOUNTS AND PLANS • Your first plant list is free, no account needed. After that, a free account carries your monthly allowance and your plan across devices • Free includes attributed web-sample galleries every month • Plus and Pro add AI images and larger monthly allowances; you can see every plan in the app before subscribing • Pro adds an About row that links each plant's Wikipedia article HANDLED WITH CARE • Text recognition runs on your device • Your photo leaves the device only when you tap Visualize, is processed transiently, and is never stored on our servers • No ads and no third-party trackers HONEST IMAGES • Web samples carry attribution and a link to the source • AI images are always labeled as AI — never passed off as photos • Results are best-effort visual aids, not a substitute for checking plant safety, toxicity, or whether a plant suits your site Found an image that's wrong or offensive? Every picture has a "Report this image" link — reports go straight to our team.
