Angelonia is a popular warm-season annual that has a renewed interest for growers and consumers due to the development of several new cultivars. It is excellent for use in the landscape and in large containers, and is becoming more popular for cut flower use. Known as the summer snapdragon, this plant does best in warm climates, is drought tolerant, and really shines when snapdragons and other spring annuals begin to wither. Older varieties vary in performance. Most are treated as annuals, but in all Florida zones they can be perennial if the winter is mild. This document is ENH 877, one of a series of the Environmental Horticulture Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Zinnia elegans is a composite flower ranging in size from 2 to 6 inches wide on a long stem with opposite lanceolate leaves. With an upright, bushy habit, its size averages 30 inches tall. Dwarf cultivars that grow to 6 inches tall for bedding use are available, and cut flower cultivars up to 3 feet tall are common. Flower types include single, semi-double, double, (dahlia flowered) and cactus (ruffled) flowered. Zinnia is a drought-tolerant, warm-weather annual that does not tolerate frost. This flower is available in a wide variety of colors, and color availability is often seasonally dependent for cut flower sales. Shorter cultivars are also used in annual beds, borders, and containers. This document is ENH 953, one of a series of the Environmental Horticulture Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

This is one of the great moments in time when a renowned but limited perennial flower has the roof blown off of its genetic potential. The advances in Echinacea breeding we will be seeing emerge on the market in the next few years are some of the most exciting changes I've seen a long time. I'm hoping this is the beginning of not only some fantastic new hybrids but also increased awareness of some of the lesser known species. This document is ENH 993, one of a series of the Environmental Horticulture Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Pythium blight or cottony blight rapidly kills cool-season turfgrasses overseeded as winter cover of warm-season species. The disease can occur on bermudagrass in the summer, but disease severity on this warm-season species often is limited when compared to the damage caused to cool-season turfgrass. Pythium aphanidermatum as well as other species, such as P. torulosum, have been associated with Pythium blight of overseeded turfgrasses in Florida. This document is PP 203, one of a series of the Plant Pathology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

The genus Coreopsis is Florida's State Wildflower. Coreopsis basalis, commonly known as Goldenmane Tickseed or Dye Flower, brightens roadsides and fields of central and north Florida from as early as April to as late as mid-June. During dry years, however, flowering is mainly in May. This drought-tolerant, annual usually is found from North Carolina to Texas, although it has been observed as far north as Connecticut and Illinois. This document is ENH 882, one of a series of the Environmental Horticulture Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

While seashore paspalum generally does very well under professional management on golf courses or athletic fields, lack of knowledge on how to properly manage the grass in the home lawn environment may result in problems. Management of seashore paspalum differs from that for most other warm-season grasses in some key areas. These include: fertilization, mowing, irrigation, herbicides , insect and disease problems, and establishment requirements. This document is ENH 897, one of a series of the Environmental Horticulture Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.
