It is listed as Endangered by the state of Florida. Shade tree. Can be used as a specimen tree for its light colored bark. Slow growing.

The first year, this plant is a small rosette. The second year, it grows in height and flowers. Balduina angustifolia is endemic to the southeastern coastal plain from Mississippi to Georgia with most of its range being within Florida (BONAP 2014). Archbold bee study (scientific names) Attracts many  insects , especially bees including Perdita bequaerti, Agapostemon splendens, Augochlora pura, Augochlorella aurata, Augochloropsis sumptuosa, Dialictus coreopsis, D. miniatulus, D. nymphalis, D. placidensis, D. tegularis, Evylaeus pectoralis, Halictus ligatus, Nomia heteropoda, Anthidiellum notatum rufimaculatum, A. perplexum, Coelioxys dolichos, C. germana, C. mexicana, C. sayi, C. texana, Megachile albitarsis, M. brevis pseudobrevis, Mgeorgica, M. inimica, M. mendica, M. petulans, M. policaris, M. pruina, M. texana, M. xylocopoides, Dolichostelis louisae, Trachusa fontemuitae, Nomada fervida, Svastra aegis, Apis mellifera, Bombus impatiens, B. pennsyl.uanicus, Xylocopa micans,  and X. virginica krombeini  (Deyrup et al. 2002). Casual wildflower bed, typically to the back as the flower stalks are tall.  We recommend treating this like a biennial.

Typically grown in the background of a wildflower garden as its tall flower stalks are only visible in fall. The remainder of the year is looks like a moderate-sized grass.

The range of this species covers much of North America, especially the midwest and mid-to-north Atlantic states and extends into southern Canada.  Florida is the southern limit, and locations documented by herbarium specimens are scattered.  Warm winter termperatures likely interfere with reproduction, and at least one of the southern herbarium specimens appears to be at a location where it could have been deposited by a bird.  Once established, this plant should be an attractive bloomer. Specimen tree.

This species is almost always coastal occupying only a strip along the coastline and not entire counties. Wildflower garden or tall-growing groundcover. Forms mounds that are typically wider than tall. Cut back to ground after flowering.

Moist wildflower garden, wetland garden.

Grown less frequently than H. diptera but worthy of planting. Grow as an understory tree in a mixed or deciduous woodland. It blooms in early spring as the leaves appear and is more dainty than H. diptera. Does well when planted in association with Ericacious plants such as azaleas.

Fruiting late in the fall, the fruits during the fall add substantial interest to a casual garden.  Baccharis glomerulifolia is similar in appearance and in potential cultural uses. Specimen plant in casual settings.  Also useful as a natural screen or buffer plant. Rain gardens or bioswales. The primary horticultural feature is the silvery, plume-like achenes which appear in the fall on female plants. The fruits can provide a white haze for several weeks in the fall.

Grow as stands of flowers in moist areas.

Known for very dense wood, hence the common name.  Said to have the heaviest wood on any American tree. Specimen plant or small shade tree.
