It’s certainly a tribute to the horticulture industry that so many plant lines have been developed to provide gardeners with a wide array of options for a wide array of design possibilities. The labels on potted plants provide much valuable information for the gardener including common name, botanical name and reasonably accurate plant dimensions at maturity as well as helpful planting and care information.
