Native Americans used the roots and sap of the plant for a variety of medicinal purposes, leading pioneers to mistakenly believe it was an antidote for rattlesnake bites. This unique white bloom has spikey edges and agave-like leaves.
A dainty lavender flower that the butterflies love! Native to the Florida keys. High tolerance to windborne salt; will also tolerate saline soils and brief inundation to saltwater. Will not tolerate long-term flooding. – UF IFAS
Smaller blooms than Liatris spicata, but with more of a spiral habit to the leaves. Fall blooms of lavender spikes, winter dormant.
This evergreen mounding groundcover has a beautifully unique spiky texture and small yellow flower. Salt Water Flooding Tolerance: Tolerant of occasional/brief inundation such as can occur in storm surges. Salt Spray/ Salty Soil Tolerance: Moderate. Tolerant of salty wind and may get some salt spray. Exposure to salt spray would be uncommon (major storms). – FNPS
