Wildflower garden, suitable for naturalizing.

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

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

Foliage is showy, silvery gray green. Takes on a weed appearance at flowering time. This is an Endangered Florida endemic -- do not harvest plants from the wild. Garden location where its silvery young foliage is visible but not where its somewhat weedy look at time of flowering (November) will be an issue.

This is a sedge and not a grass, but it does have a grass-like growth form. Useful in ponds to provide cover for wildlife and water quality treatment. Good in stormwater ponds.

Salt marsh restoration.  Not a good choice for most landscape uses.

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.

Specimen plant. Roadsides, parking lot edges, and medians. Smaller forms can make good foundation screens.

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.

Listed as Endangered by the State of Florida. Specimen plant, screen, or can be pruned into a hedge. Fall color is orange-red and moderately showy in regions with adequate cold.

Fruits are edible. Hedge or screen.

The leaves have a waxy coating. Wildflower garden.

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.

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.

This is nearly endemic to Florida (there are a few documented occurrences in southeastern Georgia). Wildflower garden, groundcover.
