GardenGuru: Perennial Care

Cultivar-aware perennial care

Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

The garden tracker that actually knows your plants — and your zone. Most plant apps tell you what you have. Garden Guru tells you exactly what to do for it, this week, tuned to your USDA hardiness zone and the specific cultivar you planted. The schedule learns from your notes. The advice gets sharper every season. — Cultivar-aware care schedules Generated for the actual variety you planted, not the generic species. Walker’s Low catmint gets its mid-June shear; Sarah Bernhardt peony gets its eyes-just-below-soil reminder; Stella de Oro daylily gets its deadhead schedule. No more “water as needed.” — Zone-tuned, automatically Set your closest city; Garden Guru infers your USDA hardiness zone from 10 years of historical winter lows. Every care reminder, frost warning, and bloom-period estimate adjusts to your real climate. — Snap a plant, get a real plan Photo identification with hedged, honest diagnoses (2-3 possible causes per concern, never just one). When you save the ID, you get a full care schedule for that cultivar in your zone — not just a name. — Bed designer Tell the wizard your bed’s conditions (sun, moisture) and what you’re going for (succession bloom, deer pressure, low maintenance). Get 5-10 perennial recommendations with bloom timing that overlaps. Save the design for the nursery trip; commit the plants you buy. — Weather and frost banners Real-time forecast for your coordinates. Frost banner when nights drop near zero; heat banner when days hit 30°C+. Tap to see which of your plants are most at risk. — Plant and bed journals Snap photos season by season. The visual record is yours; the schedule learns from your notes. — Daily 7am digest (optional) A morning email with today’s gardening tasks, in your timezone. Silent on days with nothing pending — no notification fatigue. — What’s blooming this month A glance-able card on your home dashboard that lights up when a bloom window opens. Private by design. Your garden, photos, and notes are visible only to you — no advertising, no tracking, no data sales. Built by Arun Kumar in Waterloo, Ontario.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

This update makes reminders reliable and smooths out a few rough edges: - Push notifications now arrive reliably, including frost and heat alerts, daily task reminders, and announcements. - Fixed a display issue where opening the Ask Garden Guru chat could zoom the screen in and leave it zoomed after closing. - The subscription screen now clearly shows the 7-day free trial on both the monthly and annual plans. Thanks for growing with us.
