*** SOLD OUT *** Gaura is a beautiful, wispy plant that seems to do better in a group setting due to its slender, arching habit. Grows best in sun with moist, well-drained soils. It's a great pollinator for bumblebees and butterflies. Perfect for a wildflower meadow or naturalized area.

Carolina Sapphire Cypress (also called Arizona Cypress) is a beautifully tall, wide, and evergreen tree that grows best in full sun and well-drained soil. It is moderately drought and salt tolerant and needs little water once established. Built for the brutal head of North Carolina summers.
The foliage has beautiful, silvery-blue to teal coloration year-round, and the bark is gray to brownish-black. The branches are sturdy but have a lacy appearance and its aroma and color interest make a great display in holiday greenery.
Arizona cypress is relatively trouble-free and moderately deer-resistant, making it a good choice for screening when compared to other fast-growing evergreen choices. It can be used as a specimen tree or for windbreaks.
