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

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

Endemic to Florida Listed as Endangered by the USFWS and FL Specimen plant. Screen plant. Can be grown in a mass under trees.

Wood is quite soft and weak.  This author had one break in a storm.  It did however resprout from low on the trunk and the sprout is now about 15 ft tal. Specimen tree.

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

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