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.

Wildflower garden especially in sunny moist areas.

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.

Moist wildflower garden, wetland garden.

Grown less frequently than H. diptera but worthy of planting. Grow as an understory tree in a mixed or deciduous woodland. It blooms in early spring as the leaves appear and is more dainty than H. diptera. Does well when planted in association with Ericacious plants such as azaleas.

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.

The range of this plant barely makes it into Florida and only 2 locations have been documented.  It is not rare in states to the north. Garden flower for wet sites. Blooms in late summer-early fall.

Grow as stands of flowers in moist areas.

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