We map your location to USDA hardiness zone, average rainfall, heat days, soil pH, and frost dates.
Every vegetable, fruit, herb, and tree gets a 1-100 score based on how well it fits your exact conditions.
Tap any plant for planting dates, care tips, companion plants, and expected yield for your area.
Each plant score combines real climate data with growing requirements to give you a single, honest number.
Can this plant survive your winters? Weighted against USDA zone minimums.
Can it handle your summer highs? Critical for zones 7-10 where heat kills more than cold.
How much does this plant need vs. what your area naturally gets?
Alkaline, acidic, or neutral. Matched to your regional soil profile.
Does this plant have enough frost-free days to produce a full harvest?
Regional pest pressure factored in. Higher resistance, higher score.
Every year, millions of home gardeners plant things that won't make it. Wrong zone, wrong soil, wrong expectations. GrowScore replaces guesswork with data, so you spend your time growing, not mourning.
