United StatesThe Minnesota Wildflowers Info. app was developed to serve as a convenient offline complement to MinnesotaWildflowers.info, ensuring that you can access the information even in areas with limited or no internet connectivity.
The app has profiles for 1,814 plants with over 16,000 images covering:
•114 Aquatics
•76 Ferns & Fern Allies
•1134 Forbs
•154 Grasses
•24 Rushes
•207 Sedges
•169 Shrubs
•98 Trees
Each profile contains a detailed description with insight into how species are distinguished from similar species, a distribution map for Minnesota, a table of traits and general info, and images. A complete list of plants that are known to occur in MN is also included.
A user-friendly, multi-access key assists with plant identification. As traits are selected in the multi-access key, plants that do not have the trait are eliminated, and traits that do not serve to narrow the results are grayed out.
As an additional feature to assist with plant identification, two plant profiles can be compared at once, side-by-side, by turning on the “Comparison View” setting within the app.

National maps please
This app is excellent for identifying midwestern plants (including trees!). It includes nearly all the information you might need: is it native? Invasive? Common names? And helpful hints for identification and comparison. My only complaint is the app doesn’t show national distribution maps, which are on the website. Those of us in Minnesota-adjacent states (I’m in northern Michigan) would truly appreciate seeing those.
United StatesAmazing and rich resource that could use some QOL upgrades
I use this app daily, but could improve in a few regards: -A “favorites” button would be great -Clickable family/genus to follow back up the taxonomy would be great -in the advanced search, closing the selection “flower color” for example, after selecting it.
United StatesAmazing
Love this app-work in a public garden and reference this and the website often. The only thing I wish it had was a way to favorite plants so I have a custom list to reference.
United StatesBest app for beginning botanists
This app has been a lifesaver.
United StatesThankful for this information
Like so many, I have been deeply moved by the inspirational call to action expressed in Douglas Tallamy’s books. This app and website have served as a treasure trove of information in my journey to learn about MN’s native plants for my own personal growth as well as for landscaping purposes. So much love and hard work has been invested in this tool. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
United StatesPlease
Love this app. PLEASE add a heart or save button. I’m gathering information for planting.
United StatesWonderful resource! One suggestion…
Love this app! It’s so essential as I’m working hard to transform my landscape to locally native plants. The information is both robust and easy to digest. One wish list item to make this app perfection - if there was a way to “save” specific plants to a list of some sort that the user could refer back to, like an Amazon shopping cart, that would be HEAVEN!
