Tea Olive
Height: 6′ – 8′
Spread: 4′ – 6′
Zone: 8 – 10
Salt: Moderate
Light: Full Sun / Partial Shade
Deer: Usually not
Flower: White very fragrant
Notes: Rarely will you see an old traditional southern garden that doesn’t host a Tea Olive near the deck, porch, or patio sitting areas. Tiny white flowers cover the bush and fill the air with their sweet fragrance from fall through spring and sporadically throughout summer. An easy evergreen to grow with few pests or disease problems. Morning sun with afternoon shade, or high, shifting shade is ideal.

Drift Rose
Height: 18″ – 20″
Spread: 20″ – 30″
Zone: 9 – 11
Salt: Moderate
Light: Full Sun
Deer: Yes
Flower: Bright yellow clusters
Notes: From the developers of the Knock Out rose comes a compact, prolific blooming, groundcover rose perfect for small gardens, containers, haning baskets, or mass planted for dramatic color. Enrich the soil in a well drained area in full sun. Fertilize with slow release fertilizer spring, summer and fall. Drift roses and very disease and pest resistant and require very little care once established. A GREAT new rose with endless possibilities in the garden!
