Wildflower garden, suitable for naturalizing.

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.

Lawn-like groundcover especially near the edges of salt water.

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.

Not readily available, but beautiful. Wildflower garden. Retain if in the landscape.

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.

Wildflower gardens, roadside wildflowers, meadows.

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.

Typically grown in the background of a wildflower garden as its tall flower stalks are only visible in fall. The remainder of the year is looks like a moderate-sized grass.

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.

This species is almost always coastal occupying only a strip along the coastline and not entire counties. Wildflower garden or tall-growing groundcover. Forms mounds that are typically wider than tall. Cut back to ground after flowering.

Naturally very rare. Please acquire only from reputable sources. Usualliy said to be perennial, but may not get past the first year. Wildflower garden.

Listed as Endangered by the FDACS.  Please acquire only from reputable sources that have any needed permits. This has been known to escape outside of its range when cultivated. Useful as a grouped planting or potentially a small specimen tree or large shrub.

Good plant for pollinators, esp. in the back of the garden

Flowers have yellow tepals but the inflorescence has abundant white hairs which provide an overall white aspect in the landscape. The species is named for its red roots and rhizomes. Feral hogs love this plant and will dig up extensive areas to get the roots.  The plant in turn recovers quickly and new plants come up from the fragmented rhisomes. Groundcover or mass planting in moist areas.

This species is in the Nettle Family and looks much like stinging nettle. However, it does not have stinging hairs. Ground cover in moist sites in casual settings. Very attractive when young, but becomes somewhat weedy and tall as it matures. Probably better suited for restoration than landscaping.

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.
