Chicago Botanic Garden, in collaboration with the Library of the Univ. of Ill. at Chicago, has launched a Web site to provide info and digital images for perennials, vines, shrubs and trees currently under evaluation in the Botanic Garden's plant evaluation program. The site can be accessed at the garden’s site, http://www.eplants.org/.

Users can search by scientific and common name, as well as plant characteristics. Each annually updated plant profile includes plant images along with info on flower color, flower period, plant size, disease and pest concerns and hardiness. A performance rating and summary description, written by the CBG’s evaluation staff, helps users track a plant's performance over the course of a multi-year trial.
