About

PetalPlan

Read full description

PetalPlan is a practical cut-flower garden assistant for home gardeners and small-scale growers. Build beds around your actual space, discover flowers suited to your location and planting date, and follow every crop from sowing through harvest. PLAN WITH YOUR REAL SPACE Create one bouquet bed or organize multiple production beds. Enter each bed’s dimensions, choose a planting date, review suggested crops, adjust quantities, and add succession plantings before saving your plan. KNOW WHAT TO PLANT Explore a catalog of 100 cut flowers with representative photos and useful growing details. PetalPlan uses your ZIP code, climate data, and verified planting rules to show what is suitable now and help you look ahead to future planting dates. SEE YOUR GARDEN AT A GLANCE Use clear bird’s-eye bed maps to understand crop placement, bed capacity, and succession rows. Reorder beds, rotate layouts, rename beds, and keep each crop tied to the correct bed and planting date. FOLLOW THE CROP LIFECYCLE Record sowing or planting, seedling emergence, first bloom, harvests, stem counts, notes, and photos. Expected milestone dates help you anticipate what comes next while your observations build a useful crop history. FOCUS ON TODAY PetalPlan turns your saved plantings into a focused task list. See what is due now, what is coming up, and locally relevant weather guidance for the garden. YOUR GARDEN STAYS YOURS No account is required. Garden plans, tasks, notes, harvests, and crop photos are stored locally on your iPhone. Location, camera, photo-library, and notification permissions are optional, and the core planning features remain available if you decline them. PetalPlan V1 is free and contains no active subscriptions or in-app purchases.
