The recommendations for the hardiness zone of each species can give you a rough idea of the temperature range that the plant can tolerate. Keep in mind, however, that there may be differences in hardiness within a species and that subspecies information may be more specific. The botanical name will tell you the genus and family of the plant, which can give you a general idea of nutritional preferences. However, specific requirements may vary from subspecies to subspecies or variety to variety, so always check: Determine from the botanical name whether the plant is an annual, biennial or perennial. Also consider the growth habit (e.g. shrub, tree, herb) to plan the appropriate support structures and maintenance measures. Remember that while the botanical name provides a standardized way to identify a plant, detailed information about subspecies or cultivars can provide a more nuanced insight into specific adaptations or characteristics.

Var. "Var." is an abbreviation for the botanical term "variety". In botanical classification, a variety is a taxonomic rank below the species and subspecies, but above the forms. It is used to denote a variant within a species that has different characteristics but is not different enough to be considered a separate species. In the botanical name "Brassica oleracea var. capitata", "var." means for example, means that it is a variant of the species "Brassica oleracea". The specific variety in this case is "capitata", which refers to a specific variant or cultivar of the species, such as a specific variety of cabbage.
Spp."Spp." is an abbreviation for the Latin term "species" in the plural. It is used in scientific nomenclature to indicate that the term refers to more than one species within a particular genus.
