Planting Considerations: Bigflower pawpaw is found naturally occurring in sandhills, coastal dunes, scrub, dry hammocks and hardwood forests in north central and central Florida. It makes a beautiful addition to a mixed planting of grasses and wildflowers, as an accent shrub or small tree. Pawpaw does not transplant well so plan on planting it in its permanent location.
