Grow

RHS Grow has both free and paid for features. You can download RHS Grow and enjoy the free version, or sign up to our monthly or yearly subscription to access all features. All subscriptions start with a free trial period. Once the free trial has ended, RHS Grow is £3.99 a month or £39.99 a year (16% saving). You can cancel your subscription any time.

The RHS Grow app is separate to RHS Membership and available to everyone as part of our commitment to supporting gardening throughout the UK.

If you downloaded RHS Grow when it was free you will not be automatically charged later - you will need to choose to sign up to the paid version.

We offer all users a free trial, if you cancel before the free trial period is over you will not be charged.

RHS Grow is separate to RHS membership and available to everyone. The RHS is a charity and we will continue to develop Grow as part of our commitment to supporting gardening throughout the UK. To do this we need to cover the costs of the app.

We believe Membership already provides excellent value for money; free visits to the five RHS Gardens for you and a family member all year round (Individual Membership) or up to seven people; three family adults and four children (Joint Membership); events at RHS Gardens are free or discounted for members. You also receive The Garden Magazine every month, worth £59.40 alone. Plus, discounted tickets to RHS Flower Shows and access to the member advice service. You also have access to 220 RHS Partner Gardens to visit for free, at selected times.

RHS Grow is available for both iOS and Android devices and can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play. You can download RHS Grow onto any smartphone or tablet.

Unfortunately, at launch this app is only available within the UK due to being a UK based charity and the costs that would be incurred by making it internationally available.

RHS Members will still be able to access their Member's area on the web.

To add a plant, tap 'Discover' and search for the plant or flower you would like to add.

Select the plant you want and tap 'Add plant' in the bottom right-hand corner. Then select which Collection or Wishlist you would like to add the plant to, or create a new Collection and Wishlist and add the plant there.

You can also add plants by using Plant ID, or by going to “My Plants” and clicking “Add plant”

To use the Plant Identifier, tap the Camera icon in the bottom middle of your screen device.

Take a photo, ensuring the plant flowers or leaves are in focus and in natural light. Or tap the photo icon on the bottom left of your screen device to add a photo from your photo gallery on your phone.

Then tap 'Use this photo' and wait for RHS Grow to find a match.

Tap 'New photo' to find another plant using the Plant Identifier

Tap 'Care tips' on the bottom right of your screen device to find monthly reminders and tips of how to keep your plants blooming

To explore the tips, tap the button on the Care Tips calendar - for example 'Pruning & Training' - and you can tick off the tips you have done by tapping the small circular button to the left of the screen.

Not all plants within RHS Grow have default images just yet. We are aware this can make it difficult to identify a plant when searching and are working on improving our image collection.

In future, you will be able to add your own images to the plants you have saved in Collections or Wishlists so you can easily spot them within your collections.

If you would like to give us feedback on any problems you are experiencing, suggest ideas for new features or tell us what you're enjoying about RHS Grow, please contact [email protected].

Here are a few tips to try to help identify a plant:

• Take a close-up photograph of the plant you are trying to identify. The more detail we can see on the leaves or flowers the better, so we can identify the plant for you.
• Adjust the camera or angle until the plant is in focus.
• It helps to have a good amount of natural light so try to take a photo when it's bright.

If you are having problems using RHS Grow, please check for updates on the App Store or Google Play and install the latest version which usually includes bug fixes. If you are still experiencing problems while using RHS Grow please contact [email protected].

First make sure the plant name is spelt correctly. If you're still unable to find the plant you're looking for, we recommend trying the alternative Latin or common name.

We're continuing to improve RHS Grow to make it easier to search and find plants you're looking for, so in future you should find fewer issues searching for the plants you love.

To tell if your plant will have any care tips, you can either view your care tip calendar or go to your plant and see if any care tips display on it's profile.

Don't worry if you don't see any tips, it probably means you can relax this month as there are no tasks to do for your plant just yet. We are always increasing the amount of plants that have calendar information and we're working on the most popular ones first.

There are more than 300,000 plants in our database - we hope to have your plant covered in time!

To stay up to date on how to care for your plants, you can receive alerts on your device with monthly tips and reminders to keep your plants thriving.

You can turn on alerts from RHS Grow by going to settings on your device and turning notifications on for RHS Grow.
