Deep Burgundy
Hellebores (Lenten Roses), are fantastic plants for a dappled sun to full shade spot in a woodland garden. An easy-to-grow perennial with a bushy, clumping habit, it just needs some organically rich, moist, and well-drained soil with a neutral pH to grow and thrive for a long time. Hellebores pair nicely with Hostas and ferns and come in a deep variety of colors, including pink, green, rose, yellow, white, red, burgundy and several stunningly different color combinations.
Bloom time is typically early February to April and can be extended with deadheading. A great low-maintenance plant, it's resistant to deer and rabbits, but should have some protection from extreme winter winds. Can be divided as it matures.
Grows to 3'- 4' ht. x 1; - 2' sp.
Standing Ovation Little Bluestem is a more tight and upright version of original Bluestems, with the same great attributes of being a North American native grass. It is low maintenance, adaptable, and drought tolerant with different colors throughout the seasons for year-round interest. A smaller grower that is great for border plantings. Blue-green foliage in summer that turns vibrant shades of purple and red in fall. Also serves as a host plant for butterfly larvae and provides food and shelter for birds and pollinators. Its deep roots help prevent soil erosion, making it a great option for stabilizing landscapes.

Grows 5' - 6' ht. & sp.
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.
