They are both correct but they mean different things:
You plant plants in the ground so that they can grow.
You can say:
"I am growing plants." or "I just planted some plants."
- English (US)
They are both correct but one means to put in the soil(plant) while the other means to become bigger(grow)
As verbs the difference between grow and plant is that
• grow is (ergative) to become bigger while
•plant is to place (a seed or plant) in soil or other substrate in order that it may live and grow.
