Wildflower garden, suitable for naturalizing.

Low specimen plant, mass plantings. Can be used as a low hedge, even sheared. Useful for beach dune stabilization.

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.

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.

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

This is an endangered species. Please acquire only from reputable nurseries. Endemic to the central ridges, esp. the Lake Wales Ridge. Specimen plant in a dry setting or grow as part of a scrub garden. This plant has very interesting zigzag branches which provide considerable winter interest.

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.

Groundcover for moist, shady areas. This is an attractive fern that can form large patches in the right habitat area.

The showy part of the flower is the white, pink or rose bracts that become petal-like. This species is listed as Threatened by the State of Florida. Please acquire from reputable nurseries. Based on the BONAP maps and the ISB map, this part of the Pinckneya range that is in the Apalachicola National Forest is contiguous with the main body of the species' range in Georgia and South Carolina.  The part of its range in the peninsula, in the Ocala National Forest area, appears to be disjunct. Specimen shrub or small tree.

Climbs by twining. Train on a fence or arbor, allow to climb trees. Can be used as a groundcover but does not bloom well with that use.

Use as a specimen plant or as an understory in a mixed hardwood forest setting. This tree blooms in early spring before the leaves come out.
