Salvia misella
Depending on cold, this may keep its leaves all year or die back during the winter. In colder areas, consider growing it as an annual. It adapts well to semi-shady to shady well-drained conditions. Herbarium specimens from Marion and Alachua counties were in disturbed "garden" localities - not mapped here.  Not planted, but highly unlikely to have appeared other than through human disturbance. Used as a ground cover, one of the relatively few Florida plants that both forms a low dense cover and survives shade.
  • Distinctive-looking fruit with spiked exterior
  • Underutilized
  • Handsome
  • Flowers profusely year round
  • Wonderfully fragrant
  • Prominent pale green or blue-gray crownshaft
Default image

  • Very showy clusters of red flowers
  • Showy display of fruit
  • Prominant olive crownshaft, slightly buldging
Default image
Athyrium filix-femina
Fronds are lacy and delicate in appearance. Ground cover. This is a clump-forming fern (all fronds arise from a central point) making it a good focal point in a shade garden. Can also be used as a border plant.
  • Lovely dark green, shiny leaves
  • Colorful fall foliage
  • Adequate fertalization required
  • Highly versatile
  • Bright red fruits
Default image
Pteridium aquilinum
This is one of the world's most widespread species. Multiple subspecies exist  within Florida with two being widespread. Because of its tolerance of acidic soils, this is sometimes used for reclamation of acidic soil areas. Adapted to relatively frequent fire. Groundcover. This is one of the few ferns that can handle sun. Height will depend on variety with bracken ferns from South Florida typically being much larger than those from further north.
  • Beautiful, natural globe shape
  • Sometime grows horozontially
  • Beautiful rounded canopy
