Notes
'Donation' camellia (Camellia williamsii 'Donation') is an evergreen shrub for borders, hedges, and low maintenance gardens. 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 early to late winter and again in early to late spring. It grows tall and wide, so give it room to spread.
