*** LIMITED *** This interesting and rare cross between Franklinia alatamaha and Gordonia lasianthus luckily gets the best traits from both parents - It grows more vigorously and has larger flowers than either parent. July through September, you'll see large white blooms with a yellow center and then come fall, any leaves that remain will turn a subtle red-orange. It can be grown as a large, multi-stemmed shrub or as a small specimen tree. Give it morning sun with some afternoon shade.

What a beautiful flower this Camellia has! Autumn Spirit is a hybrid between C. oleifera x C. sasanqua and deserves to be a focal point of any garden. It's bright and deep pink peony-shaped blooms are an intense show-stopper, and show up early in the season.
Like most sasanquas, they prefer slightly acidic and moist, rich soil that is well-drained, and they could use a little protection from the brutal afternoon summer heat.
Our plants are espaliered, but these would work well as a corner foundation plant, screen or even in a container.
