Groundcover for moist, shady areas. This is an attractive fern that can form large patches in the right habitat area.

In the natural environment, this species benefits from periodic fire. Very difficult to see except when in bloom. Retain if present. Could be grown as a small specimen plant in a wildflower garden.

This is an endangered species. Please acquire only from reputable nurseries. Endemic to the central ridges, esp. the Lake Wales Ridge. Specimen plant in a dry setting or grow as part of a scrub garden. This plant has very interesting zigzag branches which provide considerable winter interest.

Salt marsh restoration.  Not a good choice for most landscape uses.

This is nearly endemic to Florida (there are a few documented occurrences in southeastern Georgia). Wildflower garden, groundcover.
