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.

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.

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.
