Notes
'Guilio Nuccio' camellia (Camellia japonica 'Guilio Nuccio') is a shrub for borders, woodland gardens, and pollinator 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. It sits low on the menu for deer. Bees and birds visit it, and it tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Mondo grass, Wax myrtle, and Blue star.
