Notes
'Ballet in Pink' camellia (Camellia williamsii 'Ballet in Pink') is an evergreen shrub. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and moist soil. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Large, semi-double, orchid pink flowers with ruffled petals and yellow stamens open along the stems from winter to spring. It can reach 8 to 10 feet tall, depending on pruning.
Pairs well with Crimson Queen Japanese maple, Sedge, and Snake's head.
