Baptisia, or False Indigo, are fun landscape plants that are fun to watch as they emerge from their winter slumber. Flowers on 'Pink Lemonade' start off yellow, then change to a dusty raspberry-purple in summer. Like other Baptisias, they are easily grown in dry to medium well-drained soil. They develop a taproot and are best left undisturbed. Showy seed pods will follow the flowers for additional interest. Use as a specimen border plant or in your backyard naturalized setting. Also great as a cut or dried flower.

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.
