*** SOLD OUT *** Plumbago is an interesting herbaceous perennial groundcover that spreads low and aggressively. Given ideal conditions, it will form a mat and take on a beautiful bronze-red color in the fall. It likes well-drained, slightly dry soil and is a fantastic addition to a ‘thrill, fill and spill’ container, just keep it out of full shade. Plumbago blooms from July to September and works well interplanted with spring blubs. Good for rock gardens, too.

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.
