What we Offer 

Plant Lust is a platform for plant lovers to research, locate, and buy plants. You may use Plant Lust (a) as an individual to learn about and purchase plants, (b) as a nursery or garden organization to contribute information about and photography of plants, (c) as a nursery selling plants, or (d) as a photographer contributing photos of plants. 

We share plant information from third parties, including nurseries and educational garden organizations. These third parties are responsible for the content of their plant descriptions, sales catalogs, and photography. All third party content on our website has been provided with express permission and/or formal copyright licensing terms from the third party, who has affirmed they have the rights to share their content on our platform. 

We also research and publish original information about plants, including official plant names, growing conditions, size, and appearance. We aim to provide the most accurate information possible, but please be aware that plants are heavily influenced by their environment, and information that is true in one climate or setting may be different in another. We provide this information for educational purposes but recommend that you also consult and consider your local horticultural experts if you need advice on plant performance in your own garden setting.
