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.

Blooms all year. Recruits readily in the garden from seed. Primarily recommended for natural landscapes and habitat restorations. Also butterfly gardens.

Its peeling bark and rounded lobes set it apart from most other oaks. Shade tree best suited to settings where its large size can be appreciated. Grown in open settings, it can have a wide spread. Grown in a forested setting it will have a narrower crown.

Multistemmed shrub that can form small thickets. Plant as a screen, hedge, or background plant.

Sometimes difficult to establish in new areas, but definitely worth the effort. Wildflower garden, meadow.

Low ground-hugging ground cover in restoration areas, in ditches, and on wetland edges.

Noted for fragrance. Casual shade garden. It spreads, so eventually acts as a groundcover.

Wild cotton is a rare plant; it needs protection against missuses and protection against removal from natural populations. Use as a short-lived "shrub". Dies back with freezing but will re-sprout from the roots. Use as a specimen plant.

Not widely grown. Groundcover.
