Wildflower garden, suitable for naturalizing.

Wildflower garden especially in sunny moist areas.

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.

Good plant for pollinators, esp. in the back of the garden

Not salt tolerant of inundation by salty or brackish water. Low/no tolerance of salty wind or direct salt spray

Flowers have yellow tepals but the inflorescence has abundant white hairs which provide an overall white aspect in the landscape. The species is named for its red roots and rhizomes. Feral hogs love this plant and will dig up extensive areas to get the roots.  The plant in turn recovers quickly and new plants come up from the fragmented rhisomes. Groundcover or mass planting in moist areas.

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.

Has larger flowers than most lyonias. Can be used as a specimen shrub or in a screen.
