Low Water Drought Tol Clear all

Adiantum capillus-veneris
Widespread but sparse distribution in Florida largely based on where limestone is exposed at the surface.  If you have limestone it is appropriate to plant it even if the location is not shown on the map. Small specimen plant or groundcover. Also grows well as a container plant. A good addition to a rock garden. Prefers settings that are well drained but moist (Osario 2001).  Note that the range, as shown is where limestore is is near the surface.  If you have it planted near concrete or limestore, it should do well throughout Florida.

Panicum virgatum
In the opinion of this author, this species has a weedy look.  Occurs throughout Florida but is more frequent in flatwoods pond settings and small floodplains than in areas of sandy ridges. Clump forming, suitable for planting toward the back of a moist wildflower garden.
  • Majestic and graceful
  • Slender trunk, 4" in diameter
  • Highly nutritious fruit
