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

Poisonous if ingested. Groundcover in open, dry, sandy sites especially on dunes and the upper fringes of beaches.

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

Not salt tolerant of inundation by salty or brackish water. Low/no tolerance of salty wind or direct salt spray

Works well in a wildflower garden or as a low border plant.

Shrub for woodland edge or casual garden.

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.

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.

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.

The published gardening lore says "part-sun" -- where I have seen this growing in nature, it has been in shade. Bog gardens. Wet meadows. Moist native gardens.

It is listed as Endangered by the State of Florida.  Please acquire only from reputable sources with appropriate permits. Smaller specimen tree, hedge plant, or small street tree.

Wetland wildflower garden.

Specimen or shade tree.

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.

Groundcover for moist, shady areas. This is an attractive fern that can form large patches in the right habitat area.

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 showy part of the flower is the white, pink or rose bracts that become petal-like. This species is listed as Threatened by the State of Florida. Please acquire from reputable nurseries. Based on the BONAP maps and the ISB map, this part of the Pinckneya range that is in the Apalachicola National Forest is contiguous with the main body of the species' range in Georgia and South Carolina.  The part of its range in the peninsula, in the Ocala National Forest area, appears to be disjunct. Specimen shrub or small tree.

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.

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.
