*** VERY LIMITED *** Scabiosa or Pincushion flower is a bushy ornamental that's perfect for the front of a border or in a container on a patio or deck. Flowers are attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds. Grow in rich, alkaline soil high in organic matter and provide good drainage, because it will not tolerate wet feet, especially in the winter. Plant in a site with full sun.

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.
