I inherited a lot of cool plants when I bought this house... but how can I add them to my plant list when I don't know exactly what variety they are?

If you don't know the specific variety, you can use the Parent entry for some plants. What sort of plants are you wanting to add?

Hi Teri Welcome! to All Things Plants!

If you are unsure of your plants you can always post photo's over on the Plant Identification Forum: http://garden.org/forums/view/...

Someone might recognize them and be able to give an exact ID.

Oh, duh! Of course, Lin is right about that! Although, depending on what kind of plant, sometimes it's hard to get an exact ID, in which case you can always use the Parent entry in your list. But Lin's suggestion for getting a precise ID is the best first step. Thumbs up

Thanks! I have sedums, tall phlox, Shasta daisies, peony, clematis, etc. ... The home's previous owner did leave me a diagram, which was great! But it only has common names.
