Managing Mexican Petunia (Ruellia simplex C. Wright) in the Home Landscape

C. A. Reinhardt Adams, C. Wiese, L. C. Lee, A. M. Smith, R. Freyre, and S. B. Wilson

Environmental tolerance, abundant seed production, and an ability to easily grow from plant stem sections have allowed Mexican petunia to spread into natural areas that border urban areas. The Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council lists Mexican petunia (wild-type and non-sterile cultivars) as a Category 1 invasive species, meaning that it is “altering native plant communities by displacing native species, changing community structures or ecological functions, or hybridizing with natives.” These potential changes to community structure and ecological function are of particular concern in Florida wetlands, where changes to plant communities have the potential to impact not just plant-animal interactions, but also overall hydrology on a whole watershed level. This 6-page fact sheet was written by C. A. Reinhardt Adams, C. Wiese, L.C. Lee, S.B. Wilson, A. M. Smith, and R. Freyre, and published by the UF Department of Environmental Horticulture, April 2014.

Native Wildflowers: Container Production of Joe-Pye Weed from Seed

Jeffrey G. Norcini, James H. Aldrich, and Gale Allbritton

Joe-Pye weed is an herbaceous perennial native from Maine to Michigan, south to central Florida and Texas (USDA Hardiness Zones 3–9; AHS Heat Zones 2–10). It grows best in moist to slightly moist, well-drained soil under full sun to partial shade.

Performance of Native Florida Plants under North Florida Conditions

Jeffrey G. Norcini and James H. Aldrich

Determining which native species are suitable for landscapes is important in order to facilitate commercial production. In 2006, we conducted a landscape evaluation of native wildflowers (plus one native grass) under north Florida conditions. Seeds were derived mainly from naturally-occurring populations in Florida. Species are listed in alphabetical order by scientific name, with the common name in parentheses. Natural habitat information is presented as a guide to selecting planting sites.
