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.

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.
