Retain if present. Can be used as part of a screen in a dry site setting.

To avoid introgression with other H. debilis subspecies, do not grow them in a common garden. Ground cover in sandy, open environments.

Listed as Threatened in Florida.  Please acquire only from appropriately licensed sources. Specimen tree or understory tree.

Shady settings. Interesting for its green twigs and red warty fruits. In good habitats it can form dense clones.

This iris and I. hexagona were considered to be a single species until recently.  I. savannarum is the most common iris species in Florida. Moist wildflower garden. Sometimes grown under the drain for an air conditioner. Excellent as a wetland edge flower.

Foliage has a strong minty smell. Dry wildflower garden.

Grow on a trellis, but keep it fairly short to keep the flowers at a level where they will be enjoyed. Can be grown as a container plant.

Hedge in wet sites, pond borders. Good for a small thicket. Grow as a small tree or large shrub.

Further north, this can be a moderately large tree. Not typically grown but worth retaining if present as an understory tree.

Plant at the back of an informal wildflower or butterfly garden--it gets tall.

The plant is listed as Endangered by the FDACS.  Please acquire from reputable nurseries with appropriate permits for propagating and selling this species. Can be a specimen tree or use in a fairly bright understory. Its irregular branching pattern and large leaves make it best suited to fairly large yards.

The species is hermaphroditic (monecious), meaning flowers have both male and female reproductive structures on the same plant. This is a near-endemic meaning that it occurs mostly in Florida with a few outlying populations in Georgia and South Carolina. Moist wildflower gardens.
