Specimen plant or rock garden.

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.

Wildflower garden especially in sunny moist areas.

Because it's a legume it can grow in poor soils, but does better with added organic matter. Specimen shrub.

Minimize competition especially if it is over-topping the Pityopsis. Endemic to the Florida Panhandle in a 6-county area near Tallahassee.   Listed as Endagered by the FDACS. Wildflower meadow. Foliage can be attractive year-round as it is silvery-gray green. Also suitable for naturalizing assuming plenty of light and minimal competition. The plants will spread locally.

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.

Depending on who you ask, there are two laurel oaks in Florida.  Q. laurifolia (swamp laurel oak) and Q. hemisphaerica (Darlington oak, sand laurel oak).  The taxonomists don't agree, and it appears that the two are distinctively different in north Florida but very much alike in southern and south Florida. They are separated here because one is a wetland and floodplain plant, the other grows in dry uplands.  Some authors note that regardless of ID, they get planted without much regard for origin or drainage. Often grown as a specimen tree, fast growing.

Specimen plant or natural background screen.

The bloom period is relatively long - lasting from early spring, well into fall. Wildflower garden.

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

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.

The interesting flower shape reminded early settlers of someone standing in a pulpit. Retain if present. Interesting in a moist shade garden as its flowers form a small preacher in a pulpit.

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.

Moist wildflower meadow

Weedy. Casual wildflower garden, butterfly garden or meadow. Likely to be considered a weed by many.

Small specimen flower or, en-masse, as a limited area groundcover. Flowers are produced in the morning and close by early afternoon.

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