This is a sedge. Most Rhynchospora species are wind pollinated. The white bracts of this species attract insects. Can use as a groundcover in moist sites. Good in an informal savanna setting, rain garden or bioswale.

It is listed as threatened by the state of Florida.  Should be acquired only from properly licensed sources. Specimen plant. Slow-growing hedge or background plant. Notable for the silver-white undersides to its leaves.

This forms clumps but does not form large clones, which means it will not take over a garden. Wildflower garden especially toward the back where height won't be an issue.

This naturally occurring hybrid has become a landscaping favorite. Ilex x attenuata is a natural hybrid originally found growing in the wild in Florida.    It is a cross between I. cassine (dahoon) and I. opaca (American holly).  To the best of our knowledge, this holly was documented once in 1924, in Walton County.  It may no longer occur in nature. Specimen plant. Plant where its shiny green foliage and bright red fruits can be seen.

Called pignut because pigs eat the nuts. Excellent specimen or shade tree in areas where its roots will not be disturbed.
