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.

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

Specimen plant or rock garden.

Leaves are glaucous and appear to be blue-green sometimes with pink-violet overtones. The range includes the Florida panhandle and much of the penninsula.  Based on BONAP and IRC herbarium specimen maps, it extends north into southern Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi.  It is likely absent or of very sparse occurrence in northeast Florida and southeast Georgia, and southeastern Florida. Low hedge or border plant, specimen plant in a wildflower garden, mass planting.

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.

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

This small shrub can be used in a dry wildflower garden or grown as a low border along paths. It would also work as a foundation plant.

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.

Wildflower garden especially in sunny moist areas.

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

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.

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.

Interesting pink veined foliage, showy flowers. Often lies on its side with the flowers held somewhat above the rest of the plant. Has an extremely deep taproot.  Is notoriously difficult to transplant. Small specimen plant.

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.

Makes a nice ground cover in semi-shady to shady areas.

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.

Specimen plant or natural background screen.

This is a large tree best used in settings where its form can be appreciated. It is both a specimen tree and and shade tree.

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.
