Notes
'Anticipation' camellia (Camellia williamsii 'Anticipation') is an evergreen shrub for borders, containers, and hedges. 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 moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It blooms in winter, spring, and autumn, so you get flowers over a long season. Plants grow tall and wide, so give a hedge plenty of room. It needs little care once settled in.
Pairs well with White bigleaf hydrangea, Cobra lily, and Euonymus.
