Used as a foundation or hedge plant. Large shrub to small tree. Can also be used as a specimen plant.

Specimen plant. Slow growing.

Shade tree. Forest tree.

Further north, this can be a moderately large tree. Not typically grown but worth retaining if present as an understory tree.

Endemic to the sand ridges of  central and northern peninsular Florida. Forms a thicket with many sprouts from  underground stems.

Keep it if you have it.

Not much information is available on growing this species. Likely to be somewhat difficult to establish but very durable once established. Specimen plant. Retain if present on site.

The range of this species includes much of eastern North America up into southern Canada.  Its occurrence in Florida is sparse with appropriate substrate likely being the primary determining factor. Treasure if you have it. Good for rock gardens and shade gardens as an understory plant.

If a single plant of similar stature and flowers is desired, consider flatwoods plum, Prunus umbellatus. Based on BONAP and ISB maps, the range of this species covers much of the southern and south central US with some outliers to the north and west. In Florida, it has been documented in many counties in the northern half of the state, and this author is aware of it being in others.  It appears to be appropriate to consider this species native throughout this part of the state. Plant as a screen where its suckers are welcome (woodland edges, casual but large garden settings)

Foliage has a strong minty smell. Dry wildflower garden.

Specimen plant, screen plantings, sometimes with unusual or weeping form.
