Notes
Camellia (Camellia crapnelliana) is an evergreen shrub for use as a specimen. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes part sun or part shade and average moisture. Fragrant white flowers open from mid to late autumn and into early winter. It can grow 20 to 30 feet tall, so give it plenty of room to spread.
Pairs well with Pittosporum, Oregon grape, and Mondo grass.
