Noted for fragrance.  Trichostema setaceum is similar but less common in central and southern Florida. There are now at least 4 different Trichostema species being recognized in Florida.  Please get your plants locally given that we do not know how closely related these newly identified taxa may be, and we do not want to accidentally cause introgression between closely related species and subspecies. Wildflower garden. Appreciated for its interesting flowers and nectar plant. Grow as an annual.

This plant is a legume and its roots have nitrogen-fixing nodules on them. It is useful on nutrient poor soils. Treat as a small shrub or use as a background plant in a wildflower garden. Can make a nice but tall border plant. Its flowers are more visible if planted against something that gives them contrast such as a dark fence. Assets  include its long racemes of white flowers and its leafy, rounded foliage.

Use as a groundcover in moist areas. Also useful in wetland restoration areas.

The most aromatic of the azaleas. That last of the azaleas to bloom--in Florida May to June. Flowers are sticky--hence the name R. viscosum. Specimen plant for moist shady areas. Shady rain gardens.

There are several different subspecies of A. glomeratus with different affinities for upland and wetland conditions. A. glomeratus var. glaucopsis is notable as it has a blue-purple coloration and is almost always found in wetlands.  It is sometimes considered to be a separate species A. glomeratus var. pumilus has the widest distribution in Florida and based on the relative numbers of herbarium specimens, likely the most common. A. glomeratus var. hirsuitior is widespread but probably less common than var. pumilis. A. glomeratus var. glomeratus has no documented herbarium specimens in the southern half of the peninsula. Uses of the latter 3 varieties should be similar as their habitats are similar. Background plant in casual landscape. Fruit stalks start out silvery green and transition to and orangy brown. Retains the old stalks through the winter.
