Nothing has been more helpful to me than having a list of plants for specific situations.These lists were often included in the Appendix sections of the older garden books, and I found myself referencing them constantly as I got to know my garden and encountered specific or challenging planting situations. There are lists within posts, and some which are simply plant listings.
I thought it would be beneficial to everyone to have a reference like that online “List of Lists of Plants”, and here is mine… for you.
