planting a good indoor or outdoor garden, knowing common plant names is vital.|Knowing common plant names is required if you intend on planting a good indoor or outdoor garden.] As many botanical shops sell with their seeds, seedlings and full grown plants by their common plant name, it is required that you can group common names with scientific names.

There are a few ways to match common plant names with their scientific names. Databases and plant encyclopedias are preferred, as many of these will supply images of the plants along with a list of all of their names. If you retain the seed packets when you buy your plants, they tend to name the scientific name with the local common plant name.

In most situations, the common plant name is the english translation of the latin version of the name. The latin is also known as scientific, as many scientific names are derived from ancient language.

Ammania, Bedstraw, Beggarticks, Buckwheat, Bursage, annual, Buttercup, Catnip, Cocklebur, Conzya, Crimson Monkeyflower, Cudweed, Dove Weed and Duckweed are several common plant names for plants.

If you are interested in common plant names for flowering plants, a few include african corn lily, african lily, alpine thistle, amaryllis, amazon lily, arum, baby’s breath, balloon flower, barberton daisy, bee balm, bell flower, bells of Ireland, roses, tulips, clover, gerber daisy and sunflower.

Popular, oak, birch, coffee trees, rubber trees, lemon trees, orange trees, pear trees, apple, Japanese maple, juniper and ash are a few common names of trees for those who are interested. If you are researching trees in order to grow in your home or outside, you should know that trees have a much longer grow cycle than flowering plants. Some trees, such as fruit trees, are especially sensitive to their environment. Research should be done before you import any tree that has not already been introduced to the area.

If you live in a region that has poisonous plants, knowing their common plant names can prevent confusion if you or a loved one are exposed to them. Some common poisonous plants include poison ivy, poison oak, belladonna, night shade, alder buckthorn, yew, english ivy, foxglove, monk’s hood, poison hemlock, poison sumac and pokeweed. If you suspect that you have been poisoned by any type of plant, you should seek medical attention immediately. Poisonous plants should not be kept as indoor plants unless precautions are taken to prevent injury. Some herbs can be poisonous if used improperly, so many references will list useful herbs, such as chives, garlic and cinnamon as poisons, due to improper usage.

Knowing the common names of plants isn’t enough to make certain that you will be able to tend to them in your indoor or outdoor garden. Researching the plants and making certain that you live in the proper region for the plants you desire is important if you want to make sure your plants have longevity.
