Yarrow prefers well-drained soil and full sun and it is often found naturalizing in fields and along roadsides. It is a fantastic wildlife plant that attracts butterflies and other pollinators. Makes excellent cut or dried arrangements and is very easy to divide. 'Paprika' Yarrow has brick-red flowers that should be dead-headed after blooming to encourage additional flowers. Works well as a flowering ground cover in meadows, prairies, and naturalized areas.
Large clumps should be divided as necessary to maintain healthy and vigorous growth and performance and reduce disease. Bloom season is from mid to late summer.

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.
