Sweetscent

Based on maps from BONAP and ISB, this species ranges across the southern and central US and up the eastern seabord to Massachusetts.  The entire Florida panhandle appears to be in its range though documented occurences in that area are sparse.  The entire peninsula is within the range.  It appears to be appropriate to use this plant anywhere in Florida where soil and moisture conditions are appropriate.
