Not much information is available on growing this species. Likely to be somewhat difficult to establish but very durable once established. Specimen plant. Retain if present on site.

Based on the BONAP range map, this species is a "near endemic" -- it occurs only in the panhandle and a 3 counties in southern Alabama. At this time, the Florida Plant Atlas shows two outlying collections.  One (Alachua County) appears to have been removed by the herbarium that "has" the specimen, the other (St. Lucie County) is a 1980 literature citation with apparently no specimen.   Neither is shown on our map. Bog gardens, sunny areas with moist soil.  Only likely to be noticed when blooming.

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

Keep it if you have it.

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 rare and listed as endangered by the State of Florida. It is endemic to several counties along the northeast coast of Florida. Please acquire only from reputable sources. Wildflower garden
