General Comments:

The range extends from Texas to North Carolina mostly in the coastal plan and adjacent areas of sandy hills.  In Florida, the range is continuous down to central Florida and then peters out, a pattern that largely corresponds to climate (temperature patterns). 

This species should grow well from the central peninsula northward.
