Specimen plant. Screen plant or understory shrub.

While somewhat overly aggressive, it can be controlled. The author allows it to climb palm trees but pulls them off the tree to limit their size every 3-5 years. Climbs using tendrils with adhesive disks. Plant this vine where it has support and where its showy flowers are visible. Climbs with aerial roots which can damage brick and stucco, so best allowed to climb trees, poles, trellises and similar structures.

A similar species, Drosera filiformis is rare in the Florida panhandle and disjunct from northeastern US populations.  In Florida, it is restricted to the Sand Hill Lakes region of the Panhandle and occurs along the fringes of those sandhill lakes.  At one time, Drosesra tracyi was called Drosera filiformis var. tracyi.  They are now considered to be different species. Bog gardens and rain gardens.

Leaves are 2-3 feet across. Listed as Endangered by the state of Florida. Accent or specimen tree in the landscape, also good along roadsides and median strips. Grows slowly.

Border plant.  Also used for restoration.

Wildflower garden. Can be naturalized. Makes a good cut flower. Blooms late in the season.

Very large leaves. This is a very rare species endemic to a few steep-sided ravines and bluffs in the Florida panhandle. This species is listed as Endangered by the FDACS.  Please acquire only from nurseries that have the appropriate permits for propagating and selling this species. Specimen plant in shady garden or understory tree.

Specimen plant. Can form large patches if allowed to do so.

Known as an easy-to-grow aquarium plant. Groundcover for the edges of retention ponds. Mitigation (created or restored) wetlands. Can form small floating mats.

Fruits are magenta. There is a white-fruited/white-flowered variety, uncommonly found naturally in Florida, that is sold occasionally. Specimen plant, mass planting, casual shrub screen

While most of these slow-growing trees were harvested for their wood, one Florida key retained its population because it was privately owned. It's now the Lignum-Vitae State Park, which is accessible only via boat. Specimen plant.

Borders, foundation plantings, underplantings for trees and larger shrubs.

Based on maps from BONAP and ISB, this species ranges across the southern and central US and up the eastern seabord to Massachusetts.  The entire Florida panhandle appears to be in its range though documented occurences in that area are sparse.  The entire peninsula is within the range.  It appears to be appropriate to use this plant anywhere in Florida where soil and moisture conditions are appropriate. Moist wildflower garden

Shade tree. Also good for hedge rows.

Flowers open white and rapidly turn pink. Use as a specimen plant. Can also be used as a hedge.

Rarely planted and hence likely to be difficult to acquire. This sprawling vine has the potential to be used as a groundcover. It also could be trained on the lower parts of fences.

This plant is listed as Endangered in Florida where the southern limit of its range barely makes it into the state. Moist site garden though will tolerate drier. Perhaps best used as a background shrub or a hedge. Mildly showy flowers. Interesting fruits.
