Specimen plant or rock garden.

Moist wildflower garden. As it is tall and thin, it's best planted as a group toward the rear of other plants.

Interesting pink veined foliage, showy flowers. Often lies on its side with the flowers held somewhat above the rest of the plant. Has an extremely deep taproot.  Is notoriously difficult to transplant. Small specimen plant.

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.

Wetland wildflower garden.

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.

Small tree in sandhill and other sandy-loam settings.

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.

Has male and female plants. Only the females will have showy seed heads. Clematis terniflora is a similar-looking non-native white Clematis that is considered to be invasive in Florida.  It is sold as an ornamental.  Please choose our native species over this Japanese plant. Grow on support such as a fence or trellis. Blooms late summer to mid-fall.
