One of strongest scented Lavenders, 'Grosso' is a fantastic addition to any garden. Fragrant flowers can be cut and used fresh in vases, dried to use in ornamental decorations, and the plant makes a deliberate focal point in any bed. Give it full sun and look for flowers from July to September. Prune in springtime.

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.
