Specimen plant or rock garden.

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.

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.

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.

Most reproduction is vegetative (Lonard et al. 2015). Plant in coastal wetlands on upslope side of mangrove swamps.

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.

Wetland wildflower garden.

Specimen or shade tree.

This is one of the few pines that grows naturally in shade. Shade tree. Forest tree.

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.

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.

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

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.

Has male and female plants. Only the females will have showy seed heads. Clematis terniflora is a similar-looking non-native white Clematis that is considered to be invasive in Florida.  It is sold as an ornamental.  Please choose our native species over this Japanese plant. Grow on support such as a fence or trellis. Blooms late summer to mid-fall.
