This award-winning Gaillardia brings dozens of bright and brilliant yellow flowers that will certainly brighten your day, and since they are rich in nectar, they will attract plenty of butterflies as well. Good drainage is essential for this flower, along with a sunny spot in your perennial garden. Great for containers, too. Leave the seed heads on through late fall and winter to attract Goldfinches.

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.
