Notes
'Coquettii' camellia (Camellia japonica 'Coquettii') is a shrub for borders, pollinator gardens, and woodland 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. This slow-growing evergreen has a columnar shape and blooms in winter and spring, and bees and birds visit it. It sits low on the menu for deer. Give it a spot where its upright form can stand out.
Pairs well with Boxwood, Cobra lily, and Asiatic jasmine.
