Can be used as an accent plant or grown in the mid-rear of the garden. Also suitable in wildflower gardens. Its broad tolerance of soil and moisture conditions make it a good plant for difficult places. More robust if grown in fertile soils.

Natural landscapes including meadows and butterfly gardens.

Not salt tolerant of inundation by salty or brackish water. Low/no tolerance of salty wind or direct salt spray

Listed as Endangered by the State of Florida. Please acquire in an environmentally conscientious manner. Retain in the natural landscape if present. Specimen tree or screening plant.

This can be a love-it-or-hate-it plant.  It is robust and can cover a large area.  Consider where you are going to plant it, and avoid planting in areas where it could take over a community pond. While this plant meets the Florida Native Plant Society's definition of native (here when Europeans first arrived), the center of its range is the Mississippi River and its tributaries.  American Indians are known to have spread this plant given that it was a good, prolific food source once established.  They may have brought it to Florida. Water plant.

Mostly a curiosity in the shade garden.

These species have a cold requirement. They should not be planted substantially south of their native ranges. Flower color varies from dark maroon to mixtures of green and brown. All trilliums are at least moderately uncommon in Florida; some are very rare. Please do not harvest from the wild. Late winter/early spring ephemeral wildflower. Retain and treasure if they occur on your site. Plant as a groundcover in a shady spot--but do not transplant from any place in the wild unless it is threatened by destruction.

To see how crossvine gets its common name, cut a mature stem and you'll see that the pith is cross-shaped. Climbs using tendrils with adhesive disks. Tall climbing vine. Works well on a trellis and can also be allowed to grow up trees. High-climbing, twining, clings by tendrils.

Although it has square stems and opposite leaves like members of the mint family (Lamiaceae), this is a member of the daisy family, but it has no ray florets that look like petals. All the florets in the flower head are fertile. Use in a butterfly garden or informal wildflower garden.
