A storied small specimen tree or large shrub thought to be extinct in the wild. Originally collected by John Bartram in the late 1700's along the banks of the Altamaha River in Georgia, the plant has not been seen in the wild since. Franklinias offer wonderful, 2-3", white, camellia-like flowers in late summer followed by brilliant, scarlet and orange fall color. Plants can be somewhat difficult to establish in the garden but are well worth the effort; besides, they make great conversation pieces!
