These are generally moist site ferns though some (T. kunthii, T. ovata) grow in mesic uplands. Most are similar in appearance, and all will grow in a moist, shady garden setting. Most are adaptable and easy to grow. Groundcover recommended for natural landscapes and habitat restoration.

This is an ENDANGERED plant (listed both Florida and US). Please acquire this endemic plant only from a reputable source. One of several cactus species that is attacked by the cactus moth, Cactoblastis cactorum, which arrived in Florida in 1989, and this invasive species has become a serious threat to the diversity and abundance of Consolea corallicola and Opuntia cacti in North America.

There are two subspecies in Florida with somewhat different but overlapping distributions. Culture and uses in the landscape are similar. It is best to use local sources. Small wildflower. Typically seen in spring or after rain. Grows in small tufts. Plant in low border on intermixed with a groundcover. Inconspicuous when not in bloom. Individual plants are short-lived perennials, but clumps persist for many years.

This forms clumps but does not form large clones, which means it will not take over a garden. Wildflower garden

Sometimes difficult to establish in new areas, but definitely worth the effort. Wildflower garden, meadow.
