Low growing groundcover. Can be used as a turf substitute in low traffic areas.

Minimize competition especially if it is over-topping the Pityopsis. Endemic to the Florida Panhandle in a 6-county area near Tallahassee.   Listed as Endagered by the FDACS. Wildflower meadow. Foliage can be attractive year-round as it is silvery-gray green. Also suitable for naturalizing assuming plenty of light and minimal competition. The plants will spread locally.

The range of this species covers much of North America, especially the midwest and mid-to-north Atlantic states and extends into southern Canada.  Florida is the southern limit, and locations documented by herbarium specimens are scattered.  Warm winter termperatures likely interfere with reproduction, and at least one of the southern herbarium specimens appears to be at a location where it could have been deposited by a bird.  Once established, this plant should be an attractive bloomer.
