Rare and listed as endangered. Please obtain this plant only from reputable native plant nurseries or friends -- do not harvest from the wild. Little is known about the culture of this species. Other Silene species do well if divided at the crown during the winter every few years. Groundcover.

This plant is a legume and its roots have nitrogen-fixing nodules on them. It is useful on nutrient poor soils. Baptisia simplicifolia is a Florida endemic and is listed as Threatened by the FDACS. Treat as a small shrub even though this is not woody or use as a background plant in a wildflower garden.

This is one of our larger (taller and larger flowers) Coreopsis species. Useful as a colorful wildflower along the edge of a wetland. Often overlooked as sunflowers are blooming at the same time. But if the site is appropriate, worthwhile.

Specimen tree. Valued for its foliage which is shiny green on top and silky brown beneath.

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

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

This is one of the most common ferns in central-southern Florida and potentially one of the most beautiful. Ground cover for moist, shady sites. Also useful in wetland restoration.

Moist wildflower garden. Makes a good mass planting on the edge of a pond or ditch.

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.

Predominantly grown as a curiosity in the Florida Keys. Wildflower gardens. Hammock restoration.

Large clump-forming grass with uses as tall groundcover, specimen plant, or border plant. Nice along edges of ponds and water features.
