Wildflower garden, suitable for naturalizing.

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

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

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.

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.

The bloom period is relatively long - lasting from early spring, well into fall. Wildflower garden.

Shrub for woodland edge or casual garden.

The interesting flower shape reminded early settlers of someone standing in a pulpit. Retain if present. Interesting in a moist shade garden as its flowers form a small preacher in a pulpit.

Fruits are edible. Hedge or screen.

The leaves have a waxy coating. Wildflower garden.

Small tree in sandhill and other sandy-loam settings.

Has larger flowers than most lyonias. Can be used as a specimen shrub or in a screen.
