Moist wildflower garden, wetland garden.

Most reproduction is vegetative (Lonard et al. 2015). Plant in coastal wetlands on upslope side of mangrove swamps.

Poisonous if ingested. Groundcover in open, dry, sandy sites especially on dunes and the upper fringes of beaches.

The published gardening lore says "part-sun" -- where I have seen this growing in nature, it has been in shade. Bog gardens. Wet meadows. Moist native gardens.

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.

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