Notes
'Annie Wylam' camellia (Camellia japonica 'Annie Wylam') is a shrub for borders, containers, hedges, and woodland gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and average to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows slowly into a tall, columnar evergreen. Deer tend to pass it by. Bees and birds visit it, and it tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Cherry laurel, Asiatic jasmine, and Obedient plant.
