Tilia americana var. caroliniana and T. americana var. heterophylla both occur in Florida. Their cultural requirements and appearance are similar. Shade tree for mid-moisture sites.

A second subspecies, Amorpha herbacea subsp. crenulata is Endemic to Dade County.  Considered to by Endangered by the State of Florida and by the USFWS. Can be used as a specimen plant in a sunny spot or as a moderately tall wildflower.

Even small plants can have large tap roots that run deep, but are easily transplanted. Endemic to Florida. Small specimen plant or groundcover.

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.

Noted for it's round satellite "ball" flowers and round "button" fruits. Fragrant. Sources disagree on salt tolerance of this plant. Wetlands and wetland edges as a specimen plant with a pleasing multi-stemmed vase-shape.

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.

Not generally grown, little information on culture has been located. Wildflower in moist casual setting.

Specimen or shade tree.

All bellworts that occur in Florida are rare. Please do not transplant from the wild unless there is imminent danger of site destruction (permits may be required). Retain if present in the landscape. Makes a nice spring wildflower in a wooded setting. Can be allowed to naturalize.

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

It's called "white mangrove" because it exudes extra salt through special glands which makes the leaves appear white. The word "mangrove"  refers to all types of trees that have adapted to living in the sea. Worldwide, there are 23 genera from eight different families that have species that are described as mangroves. Useful in coastal sites both for screening, windbreak, and as a plant useful to coastal stabilization. Plant slightly upslope of red and black mangroves.

Fruits are showy from mid-distance until spring. Salt tolerance is unknown but given known locations for the plant, we assume it is likely to be low. Specimen or hedge plant.
