This species is listed as Endangered by the State of Florida.  Please acquire only from reputable sources with proper permits. Grow as a sprawling vine (will need to be tied to a fence or trellis) or used as a groundcover.

This is a rare South Florida native that has entered the nursery trade. A major concern is hybridization with Lantana strigocamara, a multicolored invasive exotic. Due to the potential hybridization, it is best to acquire L. depress var. depressa only, and it is best to acquire it from a native plant nursery, not a big box store. Small, low-growing border plant, specimen plant in a flower garden. Fairly slow growing. Flowers range from bright yellow to white with a yellow center -- never becoming multicolored with age.

In January the tree bears tiny red flowers followed by conspicuous, bright-red, winged samaras,or keys, which remain on trees for several weeks, serving as indicators of spring. Florida-grown stock does not need cold temperatures to stimulate flowering, but out-of-state stock does, and should be avoided. Red maple has the greatest south-north range of tree species in eastern North America. Shade or fall color tree for moist areas. Rain gardens or bioswales

It is listed as Threatened by the state of Florida. Naturalistic landscapes.

This is one of the most common ferns in central-southern Florida and potentially one of the most beautiful. Ground cover for moist, shady sites. Also useful in wetland restoration.

Informal settings where it can be a low hedge plant or specimen. Plant forms small clusters by suckering, so give it room.

This species is listed as invasive in parts of the world where it is not native. Water garden, planting of surface water management pond. Often used as an aquarium plant.

This forms clumps but does not form large clones, which means it will not take over a garden. Wildflower garden

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

Depending on the weather, this may be either an annual or perennial in Florida. Informal gardens in wet sites.
