All bellworts that occur in Florida are rare. Please do not transplant from the wild unless there is imminent danger of site destruction (permits may be required). Retain if present in the landscape. Makes a nice spring wildflower in a wooded setting. Can be allowed to naturalize.

Lawn-like groundcover especially near the edges of salt water.

Use in  wildflower gardens. Gradually spreads to form small clusters of plants.

Wildflower gardens, roadside wildflowers, meadows.

Use as a natural hedge behind shorter plants.

Foliage is showy, silvery gray green. Takes on a weed appearance at flowering time. This is an Endangered Florida endemic -- do not harvest plants from the wild. Garden location where its silvery young foliage is visible but not where its somewhat weedy look at time of flowering (November) will be an issue.

Tilia americana var. caroliniana and T. americana var. heterophylla both occur in Florida. Their cultural requirements and appearance are similar. Shade tree for mid-moisture sites.

Wildflower garden, suitable for naturalizing.

Good plant for pollinators, esp. in the back of the garden
