Border plant.  Also used for restoration.

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

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.

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.

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.
