Notes
'Debbie' camellia (Camellia williamsii 'Debbie') 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 from winter into spring. Because it needs little fuss, it suits a low maintenance garden.
Pairs well with White bigleaf hydrangea, Goldenseal, and Little Gem southern magnolia.
