Macarthur Palm
Ptychosperma macarthurii
The Macarthur Palm (Ptychosperma macarthurii) is a clustering, multi-stemmed palm native to northern Australia and New Guinea. It produces slender, ringed canes topped with dark green, arching, pinnate fronds, forming a dense and graceful clump. Prized for its adaptability, this palm tolerates a wide range of soils, grows well both outdoors in tropical landscapes and indoors in bright rooms, and is notably resistant to pests, disease, and even lethal yellowing, a condition that affects many other palm species.
Long-leaved Lungwort
Pulmonaria longifolia
Pulmonaria longifolia, commonly called long-leaved lungwort, is a low-growing, semi-evergreen woodland perennial native to France, Great Britain, Portugal and Spain. Its long, narrow, dark green leaves are heavily dappled with silvery-white spots, forming dense clumps of textural foliage well before and after the bloom period. In spring, dense clusters of funnel-shaped flowers open from pink buds and mature to deep blue, giving each stem a two-toned display. Slow-spreading and shade-loving, it thrives in the cool, moist woodland conditions of borders and shaded slopes.
Bethlehem Sage
Pulmonaria saccharata
Pulmonaria saccharata, commonly called Bethlehem sage, is a low-growing, semi-evergreen perennial native to woodlands of France and Italy. Its lance-shaped, deep green leaves are heavily splashed with silvery-white spots, forming a dense, textural groundcover even when the plant isn't in bloom. In early spring, clusters of funnel-shaped flowers open pink and mature to vivid blue, creating a two-toned display on the same stem. Spreading slowly by creeping rhizomes, it thrives in the cool, moist shade of woodland and shade gardens.
eastern pasqueflower
Pulsatilla patens
Pulsatilla patens, commonly known as the eastern pasqueflower, is a hardy perennial herb native to North America, Europe, and Asia. It is famous for being one of the first flowers to bloom in early spring, often emerging through the snow. The plant is characterized by its bell-shaped, silky-haired purple flowers and deeply divided, feathery foliage. After the flowers fade, they are replaced by striking, plume-like seed heads that remain decorative for weeks.
Small pasque flower
Pulsatilla pratensis
Small pasque flower (Pulsatilla pratensis) is a small perennial in the buttercup family, Ranunculaceae, native to central and eastern Europe from southeast Norway and Denmark to Bulgaria. It grows in dry sandy grassland and open pine and oak woods, from sea level up to 2,100 m. It reaches 8 to 30 cm and has finely divided, thread-like leaves covered in silvery hairs. In spring it bears nodding bell-shaped flowers 2 to 4 cm long, in very dark purple, violet or wine red, with yellow stamens. Feathery, silvery seed heads follow. It is rare and legally protected in several European countries.
Spring pasqueflower
Pulsatilla vernalis
Pulsatilla vernalis is a low-growing alpine perennial in the buttercup family, native to the mountain meadows and rocky slopes of Europe from the Pyrenees to Scandinavia and the Balkans. It is among the first flowers to bloom each year, often pushing through the last patches of melting snow in early spring. Each nodding, bell-shaped flower is covered in silky silver hairs and opens to reveal six petal-like white to pale violet sepals flushed with purple on the reverse, surrounding a boss of golden stamens. After flowering, the plant produces feathery seed heads and finely divided, fern-like foliage that persists through summer before dying back in autumn.
Cushion Cup Fungus
Pulvinula
Pulvinula is a genus of small, cup-shaped fungi in the family Pyronemataceae. These fungi are typically characterized by their bright orange to reddish apothecia (fruiting bodies) and their preference for growing on burnt soil or among mosses. They are microscopic in detail, often requiring a lens to appreciate their pulvinate (cushion-like) form.
Pomegranate
Punica granatum
Punica granatum, commonly known as Pomegranate, is a fruit-bearing deciduous shrub or small tree native to the region spanning Iran to northern India. It has been cultivated for millennia and is prized for its jewel-like red arils, ornamental scarlet flowers, and deep cultural symbolism. Growing 3 to 5 meters tall, it thrives in hot, dry climates with full sun and well-draining soil.
Dwarf Pomegranate
Punica granatum 'Nana'
Punica granatum 'Nana' is a compact, ornamental cultivar of the pomegranate prized for its glossy, fine-textured foliage, vivid orange-red trumpet-shaped flowers, and miniature fruit. Native in habit to the Mediterranean and western Asian origin of the parent species, this dwarf form rarely exceeds 1.5 m and is equally at home in containers, borders, or as a flowering bonsai. Its gnarled, twisting trunk develops character with age, making it a favorite among bonsai enthusiasts.
Striped squill
Puschkinia scilloides
Puschkinia scilloides is a small bulb in the asparagus family (Asparagaceae), native to the Caucasus, Turkey, northern Iran and Lebanon, where it grows in mountain meadows and on stony slopes up to 3,000 m. In late winter or early spring each bulb sends up two green, strap-shaped leaves and a 10-20 cm stalk with a loose cluster of fragrant, star-shaped flowers, very pale blue to white, each petal marked with a blue central stripe (some forms are pure white). After flowering the leaves yellow and the plant rests underground through summer. Over time it spreads by bulb offsets and self-seeding into carpets. The genus honours the Russian botanist Apollo Mussin-Pushkin.
Puya
Puya
Puya is a genus of roughly 200-225 terrestrial bromeliad species native to the cool, dry slopes of the Andes Mountains in Chile, Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina. Unlike most bromeliads, Puya species grow rooted in the ground rather than as epiphytes, forming tough, spiny rosettes of silvery-green leaves. Many are monocarpic, sending up a dramatic flower spike -- sometimes several meters tall -- once in their lifetime before the rosette dies, leaving offsets behind.
Billy Buttons
Pycnosorus globosus
Craspedia (Pycnosorus globosus) is a perennial herbaceous plant in the Asteraceae family, native to the grasslands and temporary wetlands of southeastern Australia (New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria). It is recognizable by its compact, globose flower heads of intense golden yellow, borne on long, rigid stems that can reach 35 to 47 inches (90 to 120 cm) in height, rising above low-growing, persistent silvery-gray foliage. Highly valued in fresh or dried bouquets, it regenerates easily by seed, particularly after fire in its natural habitat.
Orange hawkweed
Pylosella aurantiaca
Orange hawkweed (Pilosella aurantiaca, syn. Hieracium aurantiacum) is a low-growing perennial herb from the Asteraceae family, native to the mountain meadows of central, eastern, and northern Europe. It forms a basal rosette of oblong, slightly hairy grayish-green leaves and, in spring and summer, sends up one to several hairy stems bearing clusters of striking fiery orange to brick-red flower heads. The plant spreads via above-ground runners (stolons) and creeping rhizomes, allowing it to quickly form dense mats—consequently, in North America and several other regions outside its native range, it is considered an aggressive invasive species that displaces native vegetation in meadows and pastures.
Scarlet Firethorn
Pyracantha coccinea
Pyracantha coccinea (Scarlet Firethorn) is a thorny, broadleaf semi-evergreen shrub native to Southern Europe and Western Asia. It is prized for its dense clusters of small white flowers in late spring and its profuse display of brilliant orange-red berries that persist through winter, providing vital food for birds. The plant forms dense, impenetrable thickets due to its sharp thorns, making it an excellent barrier hedge or security planting.
Pyronema omphalodes
Pyronema omphalodes
Pyronema omphalodes, commonly known as the charcoal cushion or bonfire fungus, is a pyrophilous ascomycete fungus. It typically appears as bright orange to salmon-colored, cushion-like masses on recently burned soil or sterilized substrates. It is a pioneer species that thrives in the alkaline, nutrient-rich environment created by fire, often appearing within weeks of a burn.
Golden Shower Vine
Pyrostegia
Pyrostegia is a vigorous evergreen to semi-deciduous climbing vine in the Bignoniaceae family, native to southern Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and northeastern Argentina. The genus is effectively monotypic in cultivation, dominated by Pyrostegia venusta, commonly called the flame vine or golden shower vine for its abundant clusters of tubular orange flowers that blanket the plant in winter and early spring. Its branched tendrils cling readily to fences, walls, and pergolas, making it a popular choice for covering large vertical spaces quickly.
Flame Vine
Pyrostegia venusta
Pyrostegia venusta, commonly known as Flame Vine or Orange Trumpet Vine, is a spectacular Brazilian climbing plant celebrated for its cascading displays of vivid orange tubular flowers during winter and fall. A member of the Bignoniaceae family, it is one of the most ornamental vines in tropical and subtropical gardens.
Pear
Pyrus
The genus Pyrus, in the family Rosaceae, encompasses the cultivated pear trees grown worldwide. The European pear (Pyrus communis) is the most widely cultivated species, prized for its sweet, buttery fruit enjoyed fresh, cooked, or preserved. These deciduous trees produce abundant clusters of white spring blossoms before the leaves emerge, making them beautiful ornamental and fruit-bearing trees in gardens and orchards. Native to Europe and Western Asia, pear trees have been cultivated for over 5,000 years and hold an important place in culinary and cultural history.
Callery Pear
Pyrus calleryana
Pyrus calleryana, known as the Callery pear, is a deciduous tree native to China and Vietnam. It is famous for its dense covering of white flowers in early spring and its glossy green leaves that turn brilliant shades of red, orange, and purple in the fall. While popular in landscaping for its fast growth and symmetrical shape, it is increasingly considered an invasive species in many regions due to its ability to spread rapidly and outcompete native flora. The blossoms are also known for having a distinct, often pungent odor.
European Pear
Pyrus communis
Pyrus communis, the European Pear, is one of the oldest cultivated fruit trees in human history, originating in the temperate regions of Europe and Western Asia. It belongs to the Rosaceae family and is celebrated for producing some of the world's most beloved fruit cultivars — including Bartlett (Williams), Bosc, Anjou, and Conference. A deciduous tree that can reach up to 12 meters in height, it bursts into beautiful white blossoms each spring before leafing out, and bears sweet, juicy fruit in late summer and early autumn.
Asian Pear
Pyrus pyrifolia
Pyrus pyrifolia, the Asian or nashi pear, is a deciduous fruit tree native to East Asia (China, Japan, and Korea) in the rose family Rosaceae. It grows 7-15 m tall with a rounded crown, glossy serrated leaves, and clusters of fragrant white five-petaled flowers that open in early spring before the leaves. Its fruit is round, crisp, and juicy rather than the soft, buttery texture of European pears, with russeted or golden skin and a sweet, mildly floral flavor. Widely cultivated in Japan, China, and Korea, and increasingly in orchards worldwide, it requires a period of winter chilling to break dormancy and set fruit.
Oak
Quercus
Quercus is a genus of approximately 500 species of oaks native to the northern hemisphere, spanning Europe, Asia, and the Americas. These majestic, slow-growing trees are among the most ecologically important in the world — a single mature oak can support over 500 species of insects, birds, and mammals. They produce iconic acorns and can live for hundreds or even thousands of years.
White Oak
Quercus alba
Quercus alba, commonly known as the white oak, is a large deciduous tree native to eastern North America, prized for its rounded crown, rugged light-gray bark, and lobed leaves that turn deep burgundy in autumn. It can live for centuries and eventually reach heights of 24-30 meters, making it a cornerstone species of hardwood forests and a favorite shade tree for spacious landscapes.

Quercus falcata
The Southern Red Oak is a large, stately deciduous tree native to the southeastern United States. It is characterized by its distinctive leaves, which often feature a long, narrow terminal lobe, and its dark, furrowed bark. It is a vital species for local ecosystems, providing habitat and food for numerous wildlife species.
Holm Oak
Quercus ilex
The Holm Oak (Quercus ilex) is a Mediterranean evergreen tree with a dense, rounded crown and leathery leaves, glossy dark green above and grayish beneath. Extremely drought- and heat-tolerant, it is one of the most iconic species of the Iberian dehesa woodland-pasture system, valued for its shade and acorns.
Bur Oak
Quercus macrocarpa
A large deciduous white oak from central and eastern North America. It reaches about 100 feet (30 m) and commonly lives 200 to 300 years, sometimes 400. Its acorns are the largest of any North American oak, up to 2 inches long, with a fringed cup that wraps much of the nut. Thick bark helps older trees survive fire. It needs room, so it suits a park or a big lot far better than a small yard. Hardy in USDA zones 3 to 8.
Blackjack Oak
Quercus marilandica
Blackjack Oak is a small to medium deciduous tree native to the dry, sandy and rocky uplands of central and eastern North America. Named for its dark, blocky bark, it is prized less for ornamental beauty and more for its toughness — thriving in poor, acidic soils where few other trees survive. Its distinctive leathery, three-lobed leaves and gnarled, irregular crown make it a valued native for woodland and wildlife gardens.
Pin oak
Quercus palustris
Pin oak (Quercus palustris) is a deciduous tree of the eastern and central United States and extreme southern Ontario, where it grows on floodplains and river bottoms with acidic, poorly drained soil. It usually reaches 18-22 m and has an unmistakable outline: upper branches point upward, middle branches grow nearly horizontal and lower branches hang down. The 5-16 cm leaves have five to seven deep, bristle-tipped lobes and turn bronze or red in fall. Yellow-green catkins appear in spring, and the small acorns take two seasons to mature. It grows fast for an oak and is widely planted along streets and in parks.
Sessile Oak
Quercus petraea
The sessile oak (Quercus petraea) is a large deciduous tree native to the temperate forests of Europe. It can live for several centuries and reach up to 40 meters in height, forming a broad, rounded crown. Its lobed leaves and stalkless (sessile) acorns distinguish it from the closely related pedunculate oak (Quercus robur).
English Oak
Quercus robur
The English oak (Quercus robur) is a large deciduous tree native to Europe and parts of western Asia, belonging to the family Fagaceae. It can exceed 30 meters in both height and spread, with a broad, rounded crown, a stout trunk, and deeply furrowed bark. Its common name comes from the long stalks (peduncles) that bear its acorns, a feature that distinguishes it from close relatives like the sessile oak (Quercus petraea). It is an extremely long-lived tree, capable of living for several centuries, and plays a vital ecological role, supporting hundreds of species of insects, fungi, and lichens.
Northern Red Oak
Quercus rubra
The Northern Red Oak (Quercus rubra) is one of the most majestic deciduous trees of eastern North America. It can exceed 70 feet in height with a broad, rounded crown and deeply lobed leaves that turn brilliant scarlet, russet, and crimson in autumn. Among the faster-growing oaks, it is prized as an ornamental shade tree, street tree, and critical wildlife habitat.
Black oak
Quercus velutina
Black oak (Quercus velutina) is a deciduous tree of eastern and central North America, from Maine and Ontario to Florida and eastern Texas, common on dry upland slopes and ridges. It usually grows 20-25 m tall in the north and can exceed 40 m in the south. The outer bark is dark and furrowed, but the inner bark is yellow-orange: it was the source of quercitron, a textile dye exported to Europe. The 10-20 cm leaves have five to seven bristle-tipped lobes, are glossy dark green above and turn yellow or brown in fall. The buds are velvety, which gives the species its name velutina. The acorns take two years to ripen and feed many animals.
Southern Live Oak
Quercus virginiana
Quercus virginiana, the Southern Live Oak, is a majestic, long-lived evergreen oak native to the southeastern United States. It is renowned for its broad, sweeping canopy, thick gnarled trunk, and ability to thrive in coastal conditions. Trees can live for centuries and grow to enormous proportions, with horizontal branches that may span wider than the tree is tall. The Southern Live Oak is a keystone species of the American South, providing habitat for countless wildlife species and shading entire neighborhoods.
Soapbark tree
Quillaja saponaria
The quillay (Quillaja saponaria) is an evergreen tree native to central Chile, featuring a rounded crown and bright green foliage, reaching heights of 15 to 20 meters.
