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.

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.

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

Shade tree. Also good for hedge rows.

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.
