About

Sprig

Features
Read full description

Sprig is a collection log for people who grow roses like collectors — and want a real record of what they have, not just watering reminders. Every rose gets its own card: variety name, breeder, type, bloom notes, and photos over time. Watch your catalog fill in season after season — the archive is the point. WHY SPRIG • Breeder field — track David Austin, Meilland, Kordes, and more. The detail other garden apps leave out. • A card per variety — name, class, notes, and a photo timeline. • Built for collectors — your garden as a growing archive. • Roses first, but tulips, lilies, and the rest of your garden fit right in. Start free with up to 10 plants. Unlock unlimited with a one-time purchase — no subscription, yours for good. For the grower who already knows the difference between a rambler and a shrub, and wants somewhere to keep it all.
