Notes
'Adolphe Audusson' camellia (Camellia japonica 'Adolphe Audusson') is a columnar, evergreen shrub for borders, woodland gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes part sun and average to wet soil. It grows slowly and blooms in winter and spring. Deer tend to pass it by. Bees and birds visit it, and it tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Wax myrtle, Cherry laurel, and Cardinal flower.
