What is a Florida native plant?
Plants listed are Florida natives as identified in the Guide to the Vascular Plants
of Florida, Third Edition, by Dr. Richard P. Wunderlin and Bruce F. Hansen,
University Press of Florida, 2011, with a few carefully defined exceptions
where growers recognize regional varieties or FANN has chosen to accept
another authority regarding origin. Where regional or local species variation
occurs, FANN growers are encouraged to name varieties until such time as
the difference is recognized by taxonomists in an official flora of the state.
Examples include Chrysobalanus icaco ‘Horizontal,’ Ulmus americana ‘Florida
population,’ and Roystonia regia ‘Florida population.’ General categories such
as aquatic, wetland and wildflower plants are listed. We also list some cultivars,
in accordance with our Florida Native Cultivar policy, available online
at www.FloridaNativeNurseries.org. Please contact us with any questions.
How to use these plant listings
Plant listings in this annual directory are best used as a general reference to
identify plants that may be commercially available and which nurseries can
grow them in what sizes. More current inventories may be available online.
Always phone to confirm availability.
Sizes and specifications
For each plant, available sizes (see abbreviations at right) are listed, with
quantity, specifications and nursery contact provided for each size. In the
size column, the + sign indicates that larger sizes are available – please inquire
at the nursery. Additional sizes may be listed on separate lines or may
be indicated in the specs column.
Planning a large landscape project?
Please call your local native nursery before writing specifications or listing
quantities for use in landscape work. Find out what is available in container
sizes and avoid the trouble of revising detailed plant lists. FANN members
will be happy to help with information on reasonable specifications for your
design projects. To guarantee the size and quantity available for a particular
species, you may want to consider contract growing.
Important
Some native species occur throughout a wide geographic area. For best results,
use plants originating as close as possible to the final planting site—this practice
helps to preserve biodiversity and genetic diversity, and, at the same time,
provides the best assurance for successful establishment of the plants at your
site. Many growers will provide local seed collection and propagation services.
Wildlife Symbols
Native plants are the primary source of food, shelter and nesting area for native
insects, birds, and other creatures. All native plants provide habitat
value, but some are extra outstanding. Throughout this directory, symbols
are used to highlight these exceptional plants, based on grower observations
as well as widely recognized and respected scientific references. This information
is provided as a general guide only and does not take into account
regional variations. To identify those species of butterflies and birds which
frequent your area and can be attracted to your landscape with native plants,
please consult with your native nursery, as well as local chapters of the
Florida Native Plant Society (www.fnps.org), Florida Audubon Society, and
North American Butterfly Association.

for a butterfly or moth’s caterpillar offspring.
Most butterflies/moths lay eggs on
just a few native species.
