Namesake Plants is a place you can find information on plants with common human names. Plants like these are used for memorial gardens, fundraisers, gifts, etc. These names have been complied over many years, and the links are updated as often as I can get to them.
The format is:
Name of plant. Brief description. Source of info (date I last verified the link). If it says “reference only”, it means I have not been able to find a place that actually sells the plant.
Please feel free to offer your own suggestions, and if you find a place where they are selling a plant that I have marked as “reference only,” by all means let me know!
