Create as many high-level plant categories as you need to help organize your plant library.
Organizing your plant records into categories like Annuals, Ferns, Ornamental Grasses, Perennials, Shrubs, Trees, etc. helps your website visitors find the types of plants they want to view and evaluate. You can put each variety in as many categories as needed. For example, you might want to put some varieties of grasses in both 'Ornamental Grass' and 'Perennials' and/or 'Native' (when applicable).
If you like, you can also provide descriptions and images for your plant categories.
