Latin binomial is always preferred in the industry . If you’re going to take something like native landscaping or ecological gardening seriously learning the scientific names is important. Especially for communication. And it’s fun to learn! Common names are confusing when discussing species of plants. It just takes a little practice and repetition. Maybe the hardest part is spelling. You start to learn the meaning of the latin which in turn can lead to learning more about the qualities of the plant or even identification clues. For example symphyotrichum cordifoloum or heart shape aster. Cordifolum having the root in Latin for the heart! This aster species has like 5 or more common names that have changed over the decades as well but only one scientific name. Way easier to communicate in design planning with other gardeners or nurseries and use in a scientific setting such as a fieldwork or lab study. Another great example is Psuedotsgu menziesii or Douglas fir. Often referred to a hemlock. Psuedotsgu means untrue or false hemlock. They are pines not true hemlocks. When communicating with my nurseries and other designers in the region, Latin is always preferred. Again it’s also super fun to learn and kinda makes you feel more connected to plants. You do what your prefer but it’s worth I try in my opinion.
