All 18 regions are populated in the underlying plants.json and regions.json data — the “Pending” label only refers to the hand-written care profiles and the public-facing region page. Region data is queryable today; care-profile-rich pages are being added in tranches.
Compiled from regional wholesale grower availability lists, not retail or garden references. The market has already applied the “run of the mill” filter — if the regional wholesale trade grows it, it belongs.
Commonness ratings:
Pruning windows and pest/pathogen identification notes are drawn from regional Cooperative Extension publications and trade horticulture references.
No chemical, fungicide, or product recommendations appear anywhere in this database. Diagnostic and cultural information only — what you're looking at and what the plant prefers. What you do about it is your license, your land, your call.
Pick your region at onboarding. Verdant Meridian loads the commonness-1 and commonness-2 plants for your market into your element library. Measure, document, price.
