Baptisia, or False Indigo, are fun landscape plants that never cease to please. The deep blue-green foliage of 'Blueberry Sundae' gives way to vibrant, deep indigo flowers. A hybrid that has been bred to have a shorter, more compact growth habit, this variety is like other Baptisias in that they are easily grown in dry to medium well-drained soil. They develop a taproot and are best left undisturbed. Showy seed pods will follow the flowers for additional interest. Use as a specimen border plant or in your backyard naturalized setting.

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.
