Wildflower garden especially in sunny moist areas.

Shrub for woodland edge or casual garden.

Listed as Endangered in Florida.  Also found in Central and South America and parts of the Caribbean. This species has only recently begun to be cultivated in Florida.  Expect this information to be upgraded as more is learned.  Right now the only native nursery that we know of that is growing this species is Green Isles Gardens near Clermont, FL.

The various sources have conflicting opinions on the fruit and its uses. Specimen plant or wildlife planting for moist areas. Screen plant. Suggested by IFAS as a median planting or buffer planting for roadways.

All bellworts that occur in Florida are rare. Please do not transplant from the wild unless there is imminent danger of site destruction (permits may be required). Retain if present in the landscape. Makes a nice spring wildflower in a wooded setting. Can be allowed to naturalize.

Water gardens and plantings of surface water management ponds.
