This unique shrub selection from Proven Winners has a low-growing mound shape that is tough and tidy. In springtime it's covered in hundreds of tiny white flowers, followed by purple (and very astringent) fruit, then finally in fall, the plant is covered in blazing red leaves. Good for a mass planting or groundcover in sunny to part shady spots. Thrives in almost any soil or cultural condition.

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.
