Asclepias incarnata
(Swamp Milkweed)
Latin Name: Asclepias incarnata
Common Names: Swamp milkweed, pink milkweed and rose milkweed.
Family: Swamp milkweed is in the Apocynaceae, or dogbane, Family.
Form: Swamp milkweed is a perennial wildflower that grows to a height of about 3 feet.
Leaves: The leaves are opposite with entire margins. They are stalked and are oblong to linear-lanceolate in shape. If broken the leaves exude a milky sap.
Flowers: The pink flowers appear in umbels at the end of the plant stalks. Flowering occurs in the summer and fall.

Callicarpa americana
(Beautyberry)
Latin Name: Callicarpa americana
Common Names: French mulberry, Bermuda mulberry, foxberry, and turkeyberry.
Family: It is found in the Verbenaceae, or verbena, family.
Form: Beautyberry is a deciduous shrub that grows to approximately 8 feet in height, and almost as wide, with an open branching habit.

Flowers: Small pink flowers are found in axillary clusters, in whorls around the stem, and appear in the spring and summer providing food for pollinators.
Habitat: Beautyberry can be found growing in woodlands, pinelands, thickets, and fence rows.
Native Range: It occurs naturally from Virginia to Arkansas south to Florida. It also occurs in Bermuda, Cuba, and Mexico.
Landscape Use: In the home landscape beautyberry can be grown in full sun to part shade with average to dry soils.
Wildlife Uses: The nectar is an important part of the diet of many bee and wasp species, and their attraction creates rich foraging areas for insect eating birds and reptiles.
The berries are not only incredible to look at, but they also provide an important winter food source for wildlife. Wild turkeys, bluebirds, robins, yellow bellied sapsuckers, myrtle warblers, cardinals, catbirds, mockingbirds, brown thrashers, quail, towhees, and many other birds rely on the berries as an energy source.
Propagation: Beautyberry transplants extremely well, and can be grown from cuttings and seeds. Cuttings should be kept moist while transplants should be watered regularly until they become established. Propagation can also be achieved with ripened seeds that have been cleaned and stored at room temperature until the next growing season.

Clematis reticulata
(Netleaf Leather Flower)
Latin Name: Clematis reticulata

Wildlife Uses: The flowers are a nectar source for bees and they are a bumblebee favorite. The seeds are eaten by birds and small mammals.
Propagation: It can be grown from seeds and transplanting. When digging up a specimen be sure to dig around the main stem, to loosen the soil, and follow it down to the roots. Be very careful because these vines are very fragile and will break easily where the main stem connects to the roots. However, if you can obtain the root ball it will regrow very quickly.
The seeds require a 2 – 3 month cold stratification process so store them in the refrigerator until they are ready.

Landscape Use: In the home landscape it is best in an out of the way place because of its thorns. It likes moist soil, but will drown in standing water. It will grow in high shifting shade, however, planting in full sun will produce more flowers.
Wildlife Uses: The flowers provide nectar for small butterflies and the rose hips are a food source for birds and small mammals.
Propagation: Root cuttings work the best. Swamp rose suckers so look for rooted stems coming up around the main plant. They may be as far away as six feet from the parent plant. These can be transplanted but be sure to remove flowers and buds to give the transplant energy to focus on recovery.
Stachys floridana
(Florida Betony)
Latin Name: Stachys floridana
Common Names: Florida betony
Family: In the Lamiaceae, or mint, Family.
Form: A perennial wildflower that grows to a height of 1 1/2 feet tall.
Leaves: The leaves appear opposite are lanceolate in shape with shorts stalks and toothed margins.

Landscape Use: In the home landscape it grows in part shade with average moisture.
Wildlife Uses: Bees and other small pollinators use the flowers for a source of nectar.
Propagation: This wildflower spreads by runners and tubers which are easy to transplant. It loves rich soil along roadsides so dig around the base of the plants to look for white radish looking tubers to transplant. The roots have segments that make them look similar to a rattlesnake rattle. The tubers are a favorite food of wild pigs so look for areas where they may have been digging them up. Humans can eat the tubers as well and make a great addition to a tossed salad. Just be sure to wash them well before consuming.
It can also be grown from seeds.
Symphyotrichum carolinianum
(Climbing aster)
Common Names: Climbing aster, Carolina aster, and wild aster.
Family: Climbing aster is in the Asteraceae, or aster, Family.
Form: Climbing aster is a deciduous wildflower that grows like a trailing shrub. Its length reaches from 10 to 20 feet. It does have woody growth upon maturity.
A better name for this aster would be trailing aster because it really doesn’t climb by tendrils, like most vines do, so it sprawls and drapes itself around nearby vegetation. It can be trained upon a trellis or fence for support.
It is deciduous, but rarely loses its leaves for more than a few weeks during our coldest time of the year. In frost free areas it will tend to keep its leaves.
Leaves: The leaves are alternate. Their shape is generally elliptic to lanceolate with entire margins. Some leaf bases are clasping around the main stem. The apex (leaf tip) is very sharply pointed.
Flowers: The flowers appear all year, but are most prolific during late fall and early winter.
The flowers are approximately an inch across and have a very sweet fragrance.
Habitat: Climbing asters grow in moist areas like wet woods, stream banks, lake margins and other wet areas such as drainage ditches and wet fence rows.
Native Range: Climbing aster’s native range is Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina and North Carolina.
Landscape Use: In the home landscape it grows in full sun with average to moist soils. It needs a good source of sunlight in order for it to produce flowers.
It does well along the edges of natural areas where it can clamber and trail along nearby vegetation. It can also be kept trained on a trellis.
The best scenario is to plant it near a water source, or wet problem area such as a drainage ditch, so that it won’t require any watering.
Wildlife Uses: The flowers are a source of nectar for many insects including bees, beetles, butterflies, flies, and wasps.
The rambling, and sprawling, growth can provide areas of cover for some wildlife.
Remaining seed heads may be eaten by small songbirds in winter when there are few seeds available for them to eat.
Propagation: Can be grown easily from seed, naturally occurring seedlings can be transplanted and root cuttings can be taken. For root cuttings trace the stem to the ground to locate a piece with at least a few roots in order to guarantee better survival.
They can be grown from seed however they require 2-3 months of cold stratification for their seed embryo to break dormancy.
