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

Background shrub.

This is one of the few pink tickseeds. Wet garden areas. This species will persist only if conditions remain moist.

This is a wetland plant, but it will do well once established in a moist garden setting. Moist wildflower gardens. Easily grown along streams.

Low ground-hugging ground cover in restoration areas, in ditches, and on wetland edges.

Coral honeysuckle's bark exfoliates. Climbs by twining Given a trellis or fence this plant makes a great hedge. It can also make a good groundcover though it will not bloom as well as it does with support. Expect this plant to be evergreen in most of Florida but deciduous in colder areas.

Multistemmed shrub that can form small thickets. Plant as a screen, hedge, or background plant.

This fern is listed as Threatened by the FDACS.  Where is it, however, it is highly robust. Borders, groundcover on wooded edges. This is a very tall fern, so best planted toward the back of a garden.

This colony-forming fern is well-behaved in the landscape. Use as a groundcover in moist areas, rain gardens, or bioswales.

Its acorn is large (about an inch long) and is nearly enclosed by its cup or receptacle--hence the name "overcup." Shade tree.

Listed as Threatened by the Florida FDACS. Host plant for mahogony mistletoe,Phoradendron rubrum, which is listed as Endangered by the Florida FDAS. There are reports that this tree is becoming invasive in southern Florida in some areas beyond its natural range. Street tree. Yard and park shade tree.

It's a vine, but can be used as a groundcover or to scramble over rocky outcroppings.

This is a native that makes Florida look tropical. Herbarium specimens from Leon County say that the fern was likely brought in.  Otherwise, the northern locations appear to be coastal, and likely that should be considered when considering this species.  The entire peninsula appears to be appropriate habitat. Typically epiphytic (on trees). Interesting grown in the boots (old leaf bases) of cabbage palm. Can also be grown in soil or on rock as part of a shade or fern garden.

The range of this tree barely makes it into north Florida. It is much more common in the remainder of the southeast. Shade tree. The root system is fibrous making it suitable for situations where the roots may get somewhat abused such as street plantings and parking lot islands.

This species is more common in adjacent states and occurs broadly in mid-western prairies.  Its range barely makes it into Florida.   The southern end of the range is likely determined by lack of winter cold.  The seeds germinate better with winter stratification. Delphinium caroliniana is listed as state Endangered in Florida.  It is not commercially available in Florida.  It might best be purchased from Alabama or Georgia seed sources. Wildflower gardens.

Relatively small for an oak. Use as specimen tree or in a grove.

Wildflower in moist garden. Forms colonies.

Range includes areas usually relatively near the coast in Southeastern United States west to Texas, north to North Carolina, and south to the Monroe County Keys; and Mexico,  the Neotropics and Bermuda. Rare in the northern parts of its range and in the Florida keys. Naturalistic areas especially near the coast.

Ground cover in  wet to moist areas.

Don't confuse this native with the non-native tropical or scarlet milkweed (Asclepias curassavica), that is often sold in big box stores, which has red and yellow flowers. Wet wildflower garden.

This is a rare plant.  Please acquire responsibly (don't steal from the wild). Not common in the nursery trade (we are aware of one North Florida nursery that sells it). Back up flower beds
