Common Names of Plants - K-L

Japanese Kerria to Loropetalum

By , About.com Guide

The following are the common names of plants I cover beginning with the letters "K" or "L." To research any of the entries listed, just click their links. You will be brought to full articles that deal with their growing requirements, etc.

First, a few interesting facts on three of the plants listed below. "Korean spice" viburnum is not a culinary reference but refers, rather, to the smell of this shrub's flowers. Lantana is widely grown, but don't lapse into a fall sense of security with it if you have small children: lantana is toxic. "Lenten" rose is so called because of the time of year it blooms in certain locales; it is not really a rose.

If you don't see what you were looking for in the entries below, go to my Common Plant Names index.
