Notes
'Drama Girl' camellia (Camellia japonica 'Drama Girl') is a shrub for borders, hedges, containers, and woodland 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 wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows slowly into a columnar, evergreen shrub that tolerates salt and draws bees and birds. Deer tend to pass it by. Flowers open in winter and spring.
Pairs well with Mondo grass, Wax myrtle, and Green and gold.
